Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?

Potentially. The answer depends on your existing solar system, electrical infrastructure, equipment and energy requirements. An assessment is needed to determine whether battery storage can be appropriately integrated with your existing setup.

Do I need to replace my existing solar system?

Not necessarily. An existing system may still be suitable for continued use or upgrading. The right approach depends on its configuration, condition, capacity and how your electricity requirements have changed. We assess the existing system before recommending an approach.

My solar works during the day but I still have high bills at night. Can you help?

Yes. This is one of the situations where a solar and battery upgrade assessment can be useful. If your solar generates electricity during the day but your property consumes significant electricity after sunset, battery storage may be one option worth investigating.

Can I upgrade an older solar system?

Potentially. Older systems can vary significantly, so the system needs to be assessed before determining whether an upgrade is appropriate. Depending on the circumstances, the right approach could involve additional equipment, battery storage, electrical work or replacement of some components.

Can you assess my existing solar system?

Yes. Oz Home Energy can assess suitable existing solar systems as part of a solar and battery upgrade enquiry.

How do I know if a battery is suitable for my existing solar?

Your electricity consumption and solar generation are important factors. If you export significant solar during the day and consume electricity later in the evening, battery storage may be worth investigating. A recent electricity bill can provide useful information for an assessment.

Will a battery eliminate my electricity bill?

No specific result should be assumed. The outcome depends on your solar generation, electricity consumption, battery capacity, usage patterns and grid electricity requirements. Oz Home Energy does not publish unsupported savings guarantees.

What size battery do I need?

Battery capacity should be considered in relation to your energy use and existing solar system. A larger battery is not automatically the right solution. The appropriate capacity needs to be assessed based on your circumstances.

Can I add an EV charger to my existing solar and battery system?

Potentially. An EV adds another electricity load to the property, so the existing solar, battery and electrical infrastructure should be considered together. Oz Home Energy can assess EV charger requirements as part of a broader energy upgrade.

How much does a solar and battery upgrade cost?

There is no single price because every existing solar system and property is different. Costs can depend on the existing equipment, battery requirements, electrical work, installation complexity and proposed upgrade. Oz Home Energy provides project-specific quotes following assessment.

Can I upload my electricity bill?

Yes. Uploading a recent electricity bill is one of the easiest ways to provide useful information for an initial solar or battery savings assessment.

What if I am not sure whether I need an upgrade?

That is exactly why an assessment can be useful. You do not need to decide whether you need a battery, new solar panels or another upgrade before contacting us. Tell us what is happening with your electricity use and what you want to achieve.

Start Your Energy Assessment

What Are Residential Electrical Services?

Residential electrical services cover the electrical installation, repair, maintenance and upgrade work required in and around a home.

Electrical work can range from a relatively straightforward installation to a larger project involving your home's switchboard, electrical infrastructure or energy systems.

At Oz Home Energy, we assess the job before recommending an approach. We focus on identifying the actual electrical requirement rather than automatically recommending additional work. Our residential electrical services can also support energy projects.

For example, a homeowner may contact us because they need:

Electrical work associated with a solar installation
A battery storage installation An
EV charger A switchboard upgrade
Electrical work as part of a home improvement
An assessment of existing electrical infrastructure

If you are unsure which electrical service you need, tell us what is happening and we can determine the appropriate next step.

Residential Electrical Services We Provide

General Residential Electrical Work

Homes can require electrical work for many different reasons. We assess suitable residential electrical installation, repair and upgrade requirements and provide a practical solution based on the property.

Solar-Related Electrical

Work

Installing solar involves more than placing panels on a roof. The solar system connects to your home's electrical infrastructure and needs to be installed appropriately. Oz Home Energy provides solar installation as part of our broader electrical and energy services.

Reduce Reliance on Grid

Electricity

Generating electricity at your property can reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid when your solar system is producing energy. The actual impact depends on your energy consumption, solar generation and when electricity is being used.

Make Better Use of Your

Roof

Your roof may provide an opportunity to generate electricity directly at your home or business. We assess the property and relevant installation requirements rather than assuming every roof is suitable for the same system.

Battery Storage Electrical

Work

Battery storage is connected to your property's electrical system. If you are considering a battery for an existing solar system or planning solar and battery together, the electrical requirements need to be assessed.

EV Charger Installation

An EV charger introduces another electrical load to your property. We assess the switchboard, electrical capacity, charger location and installation requirements before recommending a suitable approach.

Take Greater Control of Energy Costs

Electricity costs are an important consideration for many households and businesses.

Solar can form part of a broader strategy to manage how your property generates and uses electricity.

Build Towards a Broader Energy System

Solar does not necessarily need to be viewed as a standalone project.

Depending on your circumstances, your future energy requirements may include battery storage or EV charging. Considering those requirements early can help you make more informed decisions about your electrical and energy setup.

Switchboard Upgrades

Your switchboard is an important part of your home's electrical infrastructure. If you are adding new electrical equipment, renovating or experiencing changes in your home's electrical requirements, an assessment can determine whether a switchboard upgrade is appropriate.

Generate Electricity During Daylight Hours

Solar generation occurs when sunlight is available. This can be particularly relevant for homes and businesses that use electricity during the day. Understanding when your property consumes electricity helps determine how useful solar may be for your circumstances.

Who Needs Residential Electrical Services?

Renovations, extensions and changes to a property can create new electrical requirements. The work may involve additional electrical points, lighting, equipment or changes to existing infrastructure. The exact requirements depend on the project.

Older properties can have electrical infrastructure that no longer suits modern household requirements. If your home has gained additional appliances, air conditioning, solar, battery storage or an EV, it may be worth having the relevant electrical infrastructure assessed.

Buying an EV changes your home's electricity requirements. The charger needs to be connected appropriately to your electrical system, with the switchboard and available capacity considered.

Solar and batteries form part of your home's electrical system. If you are planning an energy upgrade, having the electrical requirements considered by a licensed electrical contractor is important.

If you are planning a major electrical or energy upgrade, the switchboard should be considered as part of the assessment. A switchboard upgrade may or may not be required.
