Got Solar? Paying Too Much For Electricity?
A Battery is your solution
Brisbane's long sunny days mean many households generate more solar power than they use during daylight hours. Without a battery, much of that excess energy is exported to the grid for a low feed-in tariff, only to be bought back later at higher evening electricity rates. A solar battery changes this. By storing excess solar energy during the day and using it after sunset, you can reduce your reliance on grid electricity and keep more of the energy you generate. With rising power prices and federal battery rebates reducing upfront costs, there has never been a better time for Brisbane homeowners to maximise the value of their solar system.





Add A Solar Battery
Brisbane Solar Works Hard.
A Battery Makes It Work Smarter.
Brisbane's sunshine helps many homes generate more solar power than they use during the day. Without a battery, much of that excess energy is exported before it can reduce your evening electricity costs.
A solar battery stores unused daytime power so you can use it after sunset for cooling, lighting, appliances and everyday energy needs.
| Why Brisbane Homeowners Add Batteries | What It Helps With |
|---|---|
| Store More Solar | Keep excess daytime energy and use it later. |
| Lower Grid Use | Buy less electricity back at night. |
| Improve Savings | Many Brisbane households may save $1,500–$3,000+ per year. |
| Use Available Rebates | Eligible systems may receive up to 30% off upfront battery costs. |
| Cover Evening Demand | Use stored solar for cooling, appliances, lighting and EV charging. |
| Increase Energy Control | Rely less on retailers, feed-in tariffs and rising power prices. |
Get More From Your Solar
Store Excess Solar Energy
Capture the power your solar system generates during the day instead of sending it back to the grid for a low feed-in tariff.
Use Solar After Sunset
Run more of your evening appliances, lighting, heating and cooling from stored solar energy.
Reduce Grid Reliance
Buy less electricity from the grid at night and take greater control of your household energy costs.

Ready For A Battery?
You Already Have Solar Panels
If your system regularly exports excess energy during the day, a battery can store that power for use after sunset.
Your Brisbane Electricity Bills Are Still High
Many households generate plenty of solar energy but still rely heavily on grid electricity during the evening peak period.
You're Exporting More Solar Than You Use
Instead of selling excess solar back to the grid for a relatively low feed-in tariff, a battery lets you keep and use more of your own energy.
You Use Air Conditioning Regularly
Brisbane's warm climate means cooling costs can make up a significant portion of household electricity bills.
You Want Bigger Long-Term Savings
A battery can help increase self-consumption, reduce grid reliance and maximise the value of your existing solar investment.
What our customers say
“I am saving money with my panels, I’m very excited to say. The quoting process was so easy, and no pressure. Price-wise they were the most competitive, and not only are the panels and inverters great and really high-quality, but the team was so great to work with that I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
“The speed that they got a quote to me – and had the system erected – was super-fast. They were straight to the point, legitimate; I could get them on the phone, and not beat around the bush with a salesperson. They were polite and enjoyable to have around. Get Stag to do it – I’d recommend them any day of the week.”
“The enquiry and quoting process was very easy. We were very happy with [the quote] and accepted it straight away. We’re saving a lot of money with the solar panels. The total experience with Stag was one that left us feeling very good, very satisfied, and we’d be happy to recommend them to anyone – I don’t think you could do any better.”

Frequently Asked Questions: Brisbane Solar Batteries
Is a solar battery worth it in Brisbane?
For many Brisbane households, a solar battery can significantly improve the value of an existing solar system. Brisbane's abundant sunshine often means homes generate more solar energy than they can use during the day. A battery stores that excess energy so you can use it at night instead of buying expensive electricity from the grid.
Can I add a battery to my existing Brisbane solar system?
Yes. Many existing Brisbane solar systems can be upgraded with battery storage. The suitability depends on your current inverter, switchboard, available installation space and overall system design. Stag Electrical can assess your existing setup and recommend the most suitable battery solution.
Why are my Brisbane electricity bills still high if I already have solar?
Many Brisbane households generate most of their solar energy during the day when nobody is home to use it. Without a battery, excess energy is exported to the grid for a relatively low feed-in tariff, while electricity is purchased back from the grid during the evening when usage is highest.
What size solar battery do I need for my Brisbane home?
The ideal battery size depends on your solar system size, evening electricity usage, household energy habits, budget and whether you want backup power functionality. A properly designed battery system should be tailored to your energy consumption rather than simply choosing the largest battery available.
Are there solar battery rebates available in Brisbane?
Eligible Brisbane homeowners may be able to access federal battery rebate incentives that can reduce the upfront cost of battery installation. Stag Electrical can help explain current rebate eligibility requirements and estimate how much support may apply to your battery system.
Do solar batteries provide backup power during blackouts?
Some solar battery systems can provide backup power during outages, but this depends on the battery model, inverter configuration and whether backup functionality is included during installation. Stag Electrical can recommend battery systems designed to support essential household circuits during power outages.
