Why Richmond homes add a battery
Without a battery, most of the solar you make while you’re out goes back to the grid for a small feed-in credit, and you buy power back at night at full price.
Use your solar at night
Run lights, cooking, TV and heating or cooling after sunset on power your panels made that day.
Lower power bills
Buy less electricity at evening peak rates and make the most of every kilowatt your solar produces.
Backup in a blackout
With a backup-ready setup, a battery can keep selected circuits or the whole home running during an outage.
What size battery do you need?
Size your battery to the electricity you use after the sun goes down, not your whole daily usage. We work it out from your bill or smart-meter data.
| Battery size | Typically covers | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 10kWh | Evening use for a smaller home | Couples, smaller homes, low evening usage |
| 14kWh | Most of the evening for a typical family | Most homes – strongest discount per kWh |
| 20kWh | Evening and much of the night | Larger families, ducted heating or cooling |
| 30kWh | Overnight use with reserve for backup | Big households, work from home, blackout backup |
