Explore a storage upgrade for your current solar installation. Equipment compatibility and any inverter changes need to be assessed.
Capture energy from your rooftop
Save available energy in your battery
Power your home beyond daylight hours
Your solar panels may produce more electricity than your household uses during the day. A home battery can store some of that surplus for the evening, overnight or other times when solar generation is lower.
At Mega Volt VIC, we help you explore battery storage based on your electricity usage, existing solar equipment and available installation space. Whether you’re upgrading your solar or planning a new system, the starting point is what your home needs.
Energy flow depends on your inverter, system settings and whether the battery is AC- or DC-coupled. Grid electricity remains available when stored energy is insufficient.
Your solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours.
Available solar electricity supplies your household’s immediate energy needs.
Surplus solar can charge a compatible battery instead of being exported to the grid.
Your battery supplies stored electricity when needed, within its usable capacity and output limits.
The right battery is about more than capacity. We consider when you use electricity, how much solar you generate, inverter compatibility and your goals.
Explore a storage upgrade for your current solar installation. Equipment compatibility and any inverter changes need to be assessed.
Plan solar generation and battery storage together, with components selected to work as one complete system.
If backup is a priority, explore a system with suitable backup functionality, switching equipment and supported household circuits.
A larger battery is not always a better fit. Your evening usage, available solar surplus and budget help determine an appropriate storage capacity.
We can discuss available products and what their specifications mean for your home before you choose a system.
A home battery does not automatically keep your home powered during a blackout. Backup requires compatible equipment and a system designed to safely supply selected circuits during an outage.
If keeping essential appliances running matters to you, discuss it at the planning stage. Backup duration depends on the battery’s charge, usable capacity and the appliances connected.
Planning solar panels and a battery together can help you choose compatible equipment from the start.
Explore a complete home energy solution designed around your property and electricity usage.
Understand your options before choosing home energy storage.
In many cases, yes. Compatibility depends on your existing inverter, solar installation and the battery you choose. Additional equipment or an inverter upgrade may be required.
There is no single ideal size. Your solar surplus, evening and overnight usage, required power output and budget all matter. A review of your electricity bills can help guide the choice.
It may reduce grid electricity purchases. Actual savings depend on electricity tariffs, feed-in rates, solar output, usage patterns, battery performance and the installed cost.
Eligible systems may receive support under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. The battery, installation and other program requirements must be met. Check current official rules and confirm the discount in your quote.
It depends on your household energy usage, solar generation, electricity plan and goals. A battery may help some homeowners make greater use of the solar energy their system generates.
Installation time can vary depending on the size and complexity of the system, roof conditions and other property-specific factors. Your installer can provide a more accurate timeframe after assessing your home.
Solar systems are generally designed for low ongoing maintenance. Keeping panels reasonably clean and monitoring system performance can help identify potential issues early.
Some battery systems can provide backup power during a grid outage when designed and installed with the appropriate backup equipment. Backup capability depends on the specific system and installation.
