Solar Battery Group: solar battery installations in Australia

Solar Battery Group presents itself as Australia's largest dedicated solar battery installer, with over 30,000 installations completed in homes across the country. The company has been operating for more than ten years and defines itself as a specialist provider of energy storage and solar panel systems, with the stated goal of reducing reliance on the electricity grid and bringing homes closer to full electrification.

Focus on home storage

The company structures its offering around batteries, although it also sells solar panels, inverters, microinverters, pool pumps, heat pumps and HVAC solutions. Its approach is based on assessing each home's consumption, electricity tariff, roof space and future plans before recommending a system, rather than applying standard packages. The company states it has worked with all types of roofs and grid configurations, and maintains that this accumulated experience is applied to every installation.

Battery and solar product catalogue

The battery catalogue includes the Tesla Powerwall 3, Alpha ESS, Ambrion Raybox HS2, Anker SOLIX X1, Sigenergy Sigenstor, Fox ESS, Growatt AXE and SAJ B2 models. On the solar side, the company offers solar panels, inverters, microinverters, BluIQ pool pumps, heat pumps and HVAC systems. The modular systems it sells are designed to be expanded as household needs evolve, whether due to electric vehicle charging or changes in consumption.

Work process

The company describes a three-step method: first, the home and its energy needs are assessed; then a system specific to that home is designed; and finally the installation is carried out with a clear cost breakdown provided upfront. The company states it works with SAA-accredited installers and installs Clean Energy Council approved products through accredited professionals nationwide. It also declares that it follows the NETCC Code of Conduct and is a Platinum Member of the Smart Energy Council.

Rebates and savings

Solar Battery Group offers help accessing the national battery rebate, which according to its website can reach 30% for eligible systems. The company presents itself as a facilitator for claiming available incentives and provides an eligibility checking tool. Its communications also highlight a best price guarantee.

Coverage and locations

The company operates across Australia and has locations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Tasmania. Its team consists of staff trained to advise on solar energy, and the company states it has received thousands of five-star reviews, with an average rating of 4.5 from over 3,500 reviews. Among its public commitments is support for the Starlight Children's Foundation.
