Solar Battery Installation

As electricity prices continue to climb, more households and businesses across NSW are turning to solar batteries to cut costs and gain more control over their energy use. Whether you’re adding a battery to an existing solar setup or planning a full system from scratch, understanding the process helps ensure you’re making the right decision.

At SolarBright, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners and businesses through the journey from initial advice to installation and support. Here’s what to expect and why so many customers trust us to get the job done right.

The Solar Battery Installation Process – Step-by-Step

Solar Battery Installation is a tailored process that includes technical planning, system compatibility checks and safety compliance. Here’s how the process typically works with SolarBright:

Pre-Installation Checklist: What Happens Before Installation

  1. Site Assessment
    We begin with a free consultation and on-site inspection. This helps us review your current electrical layout and solar setup (if you already have one).
  2. Choosing the Right Battery
    There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. We’ll recommend options based on your energy usage, preferences and budget.
  3. Inverter Compatibility Check
    Some batteries, like the Tesla Powerwall 3, come with an inverter already built in. Others might need a compatible inverter added to your system. We’ll walk you through the options and suggest what works best with your setup.

What Happens on Solar Battery Installation Day?

On the day of installation, our fully licensed technicians follow a streamlined process to ensure safety, compliance and minimal disruption to your home.

  1. Final checks
    We confirm everything discussed during the planning phase before starting work such as battery location and access points.
  2. Battery Connection and System Testing
    Once connected, the battery is tested to make sure everything is running properly.
  3. Setup and Handover
    We’ll help you connect your battery monitoring app. You’ll learn how to track your energy use, battery levels and system performance from your phone.

After Installation: What You Need to Monitor

Once installed, we recommend checking a few key things regularly:

  • Battery status and performance in the app
  • How much power you’re using from the grid
  • Any alerts or notifications that might need attention
