About Soltech Solutions

A solar battery lets you use more of your solar energy when the sun isn’t shining, reduces grid electricity use (and power bills), adds monitoring capabilities, helps protect against rising energy costs, and can provide power during brownouts or blackouts if backup is enabled.

The total cost depends on factors such as battery size, technology, brand, whether backup capability is included, and installation complexity. Contact Soltech Solutions for a tailored, no-obligation quote.

Some Australian states and territories offer rebates or subsidies to support the purchase of solar batteries — currently including the ACT, VIC and SA. Rebates can help reduce upfront costs but vary by location.

Battery size depends on your household’s energy use patterns. Reviewing your electricity bill helps determine your average daily usage — and Soltech Solutions will help design a system that matches your needs.

No — Soltech Solutions specialises in solar battery supply and installation only. If you need solar panels, we can refer you to trusted partners who specialise in panel supply and installation.

Some models can be installed indoors, but it’s usually recommended to install them near the switchboard for safety and ease of connection. All installations follow industry and government safety standards.

Yes — modular battery systems allow you to add extra storage capacity later if the model supports it. Not all battery models are modular, so discuss your needs upfront to choose the right system.

Battery life is measured in cycles (a full charge and discharge). Different batteries have different cycle ratings — check the technical specifications of the model you’re considering. Extended warranties are also available for extra peace of mind.

No — blackout (backup) protection is not standard on all systems. If blackout support is important, tell us upfront so we can select a model with a UPS backup mode and handle any switchboard upgrades required.

UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply, which means the battery can provide seamless power during a blackout when configured with the right hardware.

DoD refers to the percentage of stored energy you can use from a battery without harming its lifespan. For example, a battery with 95% DoD can be regularly discharged to a low state (5% remaining) without reducing performance.

EMS stands for Energy Management Software, which lets you monitor and control your battery system — including generation, storage, and energy usage — via apps or web portals. Each battery model has its own EMS features.
