Store Your Solar Power and Take Control of Your Energy Use
Your solar panels work hard all day—but without a solar battery storage system, much of that excess energy is sent back to the grid for a small return.
With a home battery system from Excel Power, you can store the solar power you generate during the day and use it when you need it most—at night, during peak electricity rates, or even in the middle of a blackout. It’s a smarter, more reliable way to use your solar power and reduce your reliance on the grid.
Why Install a Solar Battery System?
- Use Solar Power Day and Night – Store surplus solar energy from your panels and power your home after dark. This helps you use more of your own energy instead of buying electricity from the grid.
- Lower Peak-Time Charges – Avoid high electricity prices during the evening by drawing from your stored energy instead. Ideal for homes on time-of-use tariffs or high usage at night.
- Stay Powered During Outages – Keep essential appliances like lights, fridges, internet and medical equipment running during blackouts with reliable battery backup.
- Maximise Your Solar Investment – Reduce reliance on feed-in tariffs and make the most of your generated energy by using it on your own terms.
How a Solar Battery Works – Smart, Reliable, and Built for Savings
A solar battery storage system lets you capture the extra energy your solar panels generate during the day—so you can use it when you need it most. Whether it’s at night, during peak electricity pricing, or in a sudden power outage, a battery gives you greater control over how and when you use your solar energy.
Here’s how it works throughout the day:
- Daytime – Your solar system produces more power than your home uses. Instead of exporting that excess to the grid for a low feed-in rate, your solar battery stores the energy for later.
- Evening & Night – Once the sun goes down, your battery kicks in—powering your home with stored solar energy instead of relying on expensive grid electricity.
- Peak Usage Times – Electricity costs often spike during late afternoon and evening. With battery storage, you can avoid paying premium rates by using your own stored power.
- Blackouts & Grid Failures – A battery with backup functionality can keep your essential appliances—like lighting, fridges, Wi-Fi, and security systems—running during grid outages.
With a home battery system, you’ll lower your electricity bills, improve solar efficiency, and keep your household powered—even when the grid isn’t.
Why More Toowoomba Homes Are Installing Solar Batteries
With feed-in tariffs declining and electricity prices on the rise, more homeowners across Toowoomba and the Darling Downs are making the switch to solar battery storage—and it’s easy to see why.
- Use More of Your Own Solar Power – Stop sending excess energy back to the grid for minimal returns. A solar battery lets you store your solar power and use it when it matters most—like at night or during outages.
- Reduce Your Electricity Bills – By relying less on grid power, you can significantly cut your energy costs. Battery storage means more savings and better value from your existing solar setup.
- Stay Powered During Blackouts – When the grid goes down, your solar battery keeps critical appliances running—like your fridge, lighting, Wi-Fi, and essential electronics.
- Avoid Peak Electricity Rates – Use your stored energy during peak demand periods to avoid paying premium electricity prices in the evenings.
A solar battery gives you control, savings, and security—backed by Excel Power’s local expertise and support.
