A solar battery stores the electricity your panels generate during the day and releases it in the evening — replacing expensive grid power at exactly the time electricity rates peak.
Solar panels produce power from sunrise. Your house uses it directly, and any surplus flows into the battery rather than out to the grid for a low feed-in rate.
From late afternoon through the 5–10 pm peak, the battery powers your home instead of the grid. This is when grid tariffs are highest — typically $0.30–$0.50 per kWh.
If the battery runs low, it draws from the grid on off-peak rates. The system manages this automatically so you always have power in the morning.
The cycle runs automatically. A 21 kWh battery typically covers 15–18 kWh of evening usage — saving a typical SA household $1,500–$2,500 per year from the battery alone.

On top of your solar panel savings.
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program pays approximately $252 per usable kWh on the first 14 kWh of storage, with a reduced rate on capacity above that — applied at the quote, not chased later.
| Battery size (usable kWh) | Federal CHBP rebate | What that size typically covers |
|---|---|---|
| 10 kWh | ~$2,520 | Evening cover for a smaller home with a modest evening load. |
| 13.5 kWh | ~$3,402 | Evening cover for an average household. |
| 16 kWh | ~$3,830 | Evening peak cover for an average household, with headroom for high-usage nights. |
| 21 kWh | ~$4,586 | Whole-home overnight cover — the most common single-home size. |
| 28 kWh | ~$5,645 | Whole-home overnight cover for a large home, or a home with an EV in the driveway. |

Tell us when you enquire and we'll scope and price them alongside your battery install.
Every battery we install comes paired with a matched hybrid inverter as standard. The default size is 5 kW — but if you have a larger solar array, high energy usage, or a three-phase home, we can upsize to 10 kW or 15 kW. We confirm the right size when we scope your system.
Configure the battery to power essential circuits during a grid outage — lights, fridge, Wi-Fi, select power points. Requires a compatible switchboard, which we confirm before install.
A battery performs best when the solar array fully charges it before midday. If your current system is undersized, adding panels extends charging time and reduces your reliance on the grid overnight.
If you're starting from scratch, a combined solar + battery install on the same day reduces labour and scaffolding costs. We'll size the panels to fully charge the battery before midday, giving you whole-home overnight cover.
The Home Battery & Solar Buyer's Guide walks you through sizing, rebates and the exact questions to ask before you sign — so you can compare quotes with confidence. Written by the team that installs them, not a sales department.
eHomes is a proud Brighte Finance partner. Brighte specialises in green home upgrades — solar, batteries, and heat pumps. With approved finance, your weekly repayment can be less than the energy savings your new system generates. Full rate disclosure upfront, no balloon payments.
Store the daytime generation, run the house off it through the evening peak.
Less exposure to grid tariffs. Your savings grow as electricity prices climb.
Our battery systems support backup-circuit configurations for essential loads during outages — ask if your switchboard supports it.
Federal STC, state battery rebates (where available), and any local schemes are confirmed at the quote and applied to the price you sign. No reimbursement chase later.
Sell back to the grid only when it pays. Avoid negative-feed-in periods automatically.
New solar installs get hybrid-ready inverters by default — no replacement needed when you add the battery.
Postcode, current solar (if any), and bill — we confirm available rebates in 60 seconds.
Battery sized for your evening usage pattern, not a brochure number.
Battery, gateway, and any inverter swap completed in one day.
We configure export rules, set up the app, and walk you through monitoring.
Pulled live from Google. Every review is from a real customer install.
We install Fox ESS, GoodWe and SolaX — all chosen for AS/NZS certification, performance in Australian conditions, and full local warranty support. We recommend the brand that best fits your home and budget. Most homes are sized at 21kWh or more so the battery genuinely covers the evening peak rather than running flat by 9pm.
Eligibility depends on your state and your current system. Federal incentives apply nationally; state-level battery rebates are confirmed when we quote based on your postcode.
Yes. If your current inverter isn't hybrid-ready we install an AC-coupled battery configuration that works alongside it.
With a backup-capable configuration and a compatible switchboard, yes — for designated essential circuits. We confirm the scope when we design your system.
