As the flyer says, with the recent electricity price increases, it may be time to time to think about a battery to complement your solar system. We have rooftop solar that has contributed less to our bill over the last few years as the feed-in tariffs have decreased. Was wondering if anyone has gone ahead with a battery installation? Considering it? Installed but regret it?

I would not order from a flyer like that.

A few points to look out for:

  • no mention of how much storage (kw) your battery will have
  • no info to the exact battery type, so you can't compare
  • they're trying to put pressure on you with the relatively short time span. 14th September.
  • FYI just having an energy storage doesn't necessarily mean it will work in the event of a power outage

I would either ask them for the full details or contact another company and ask for an offer.
