Solar Battery Installation in Mackay
Your solar panels often produce their most energy during the day, but that isn't necessarily when your home uses the most electricity.
A solar battery stores excess energy generated by your solar panels so it can be used later, including during the evening and at other times when your solar production is low.
Instead of automatically sending all your unused solar energy back to the grid, battery storage allows you to keep more of that power for yourself.

Solar Battery FAQs
How does a solar battery work?
A solar battery stores excess electricity generated by your solar panels instead of immediately exporting it to the grid. That stored energy can then be used when your solar panels aren't producing enough electricity, such as during the evening or overnight.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Often, yes. The best solution depends on your existing solar panels, inverter and system configuration. Recon Energy can assess your current system and determine which battery options are compatible.
What size solar battery do I need?
There isn't one battery size that's right for every home. The appropriate capacity depends on your electricity consumption, solar generation, when you use electricity and what you want the battery to achieve.
Will a solar battery work during a blackout?
Only if the battery system is designed and configured to provide backup power. If blackout protection is important to you, we can design the system accordingly.
Can I install a battery without solar panels?
Battery systems can technically charge from the grid in some configurations, but government battery incentives generally have specific solar connection requirements. For most Mackay homeowners considering energy storage, solar and battery storage work together.
Can I add a battery to my solar system later?
Yes, depending on the solar system and equipment installed. If you're considering battery storage in the future, it's worth discussing this when your solar system is designed so the system can accommodate your future plans.
Are there solar battery rebates available in Mackay?
Eligible households and small businesses may qualify for assistance under the Australian Government's Cheaper Home Batteries Program. Eligibility and the value of the available discount depend on the battery and current program requirements.
Which solar battery is best?
The best battery depends on your existing solar system, energy consumption, required capacity, budget and whether features such as blackout backup are important to you. Recon Energy can compare suitable options and recommend a system for your property.
How long do solar batteries last?
Battery lifespan varies between manufacturers, battery chemistry, usage and operating conditions. When comparing batteries, it's important to consider the manufacturer's warranty, expected cycle life and usable battery capacity rather than choosing on price alone.
