Solar Batteries

Store your solar energy, use it when you need it

Don't let your excess solar energy go to waste. Battery storage lets you power your home through the evening, survive power outages, and maximise every kilowatt your panels produce.

Get more from every ray of sunshine

Without a battery, around 30–50% of the solar energy your panels generate gets exported to the grid for minimal return. A battery captures that energy for you to use when the sun goes down.

Power Your Evenings

Most NZ households use the most electricity between 5pm and 10pm — exactly when the sun is down. A battery stores your daytime solar for peak evening use, slashing your grid dependency.

Blackout Protection

When the grid goes down, your battery keeps the lights on. Essential circuits — fridge, internet, lighting — stay powered while your neighbours are in the dark.

Beat Peak Pricing

Electricity retailers charge more during peak hours. With a battery, you avoid buying expensive grid power during peaks — using your stored solar instead.

Maximise Self-Consumption

Without a battery, you self-consume about 30–40% of your solar. With a battery, that jumps to 80–90%. More of your own power, less from the grid.

Solar + battery: the complete energy cycle

Your solar panels generate electricity during the day. The battery intelligently manages the flow — powering your home first, charging the battery with excess, and only exporting to the grid when everything else is full.
