Thinking about adding a battery to your solar setup? You’re in the right place. This blog gives an easy-to-follow, friendly breakdown of how home solar batteries work, what to look for, and why now’s a great time to buy.

Maximise your solar power, reduce bills, and future-proof your energy needs

If you’re a NSW homeowner looking to add a battery to your solar system, now is the perfect time. Thanks to recent changes from both the NSW Government and the Australian Government, households can now access combined battery rebates worth thousands of dollars. Especially when you connect to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP).

This blog breaks down exactly what these rebates are, how much you can save, and what you need to know before installing a solar battery system in 2025.

We’re excited to share some big news!

The talented team at Conjola Electrical & Solar has officially joined SunPeople!

This partnership brings together two trusted solar providers on the South Coast, allowing us to deliver even greater service, support, and value to our local communities.

Here’s what this means for our customers:

The demand for Electric Vehicles in Australia and around the world has surged in recent months and is only being hindered by availability. In Australia, EVs have even overtaken their ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) competitors on the most popular passenger vehicles charts. As COVID induced manufacturing and transport delays continue to ease, the presence of EVs will continue to grow.

As active members of the Illawarra community, SunPeople recently supported the Lighthouse Youth Initiative (LYI) in Yallah through the donation of a 3.3KW solar system. 

On the 21st of January 2021, SunPeople donated a 3.3kW solar system to Lighthouse Youth Initiative (LYI) at Yallah.

THE lifetime and payback period of your solar power system investment will depend on the quality and overall efficiency. That is why it's important to have a well-planned design, quality components, and a competent installation from a reputable company.  

SunPeople have installed over 3MW (megawatts) of solar capacity in the last four years. Over the life of these systems, they will off set carbon equivalent to planting four million trees.

Many solar companies come and go, leaving the consumer with problems if warranty issues arise. "SunPeople don't just sell a system and walk away, we are here to stay," managing director Dave Love said. "We are committed to quality products and after sales service to ensure your system is always performing at 100 per cent."

Here's three quick tips we think you should know;

1. Know your consumption patterns

It’s a good idea to find out how much energy your household consumes prior to installing a new solar system or an upgrade. It’s more cost-effective to self-use solar power rather than sell it to the grid. Therefore, if you use a lot of electricity during the day, or you can program your appliances to run during the day, a solar system can drastically reduce your power bills and can see shorter payback periods.

In contrast, if you only use electricity around typical work hours, you will see a longer
payback period on your system.

Solar systems do not necessarily require a battery. The battery is only required if you want to store excess energy

Because solar panels produce their electricity when the sun is shining, a battery is a great asset if you want to use solar generated electricity at night.
