Maximise Energy Savings with a Solar Battery Installation in Ryde
Enhance your savings and achieve energy independence by installing a solar battery for your home or business. While solar panels are great for generating electricity during daylight hours, a solar battery enables you to store surplus energy for use whenever you need it, even when the sun isn’t shining. With a solar battery, you can enjoy a dependable power source at any time of day.
MPV Solar are the leading experts in solar battery solutions in Ryde. Our in-house, accredited team is dedicated to delivering customised solutions and professional installation to ensure you get the most out of your solar system.
Let us help you take the next step towards energy independence!
Which solar battery is right for you?
MPV will provide customised solutions to fit your system requirements. Depending on the size of your solar panel system, you will have a variety of options to choose from.
Adding solar batteries to your existing system
For homeowners who already have a solar panel system installed, adding solar batteries can be a straightforward process that significantly enhances energy efficiency.
Before installing solar batteries, it’s crucial to evaluate your existing solar system by checking inverter compatibility, analysing energy consumption patterns, and noting the system size in kilowatts. Once the assessment is complete, choose a suitable solar battery based on capacity, chemistry type (lithium-ion or lead-acid), and how it fits within your current setup. The installation process involves a site assessment, necessary wiring adjustments, and potentially upgrading the inverter for optimal performance. After installation, testing and monitoring tools will be provided to track energy usage.
Energy independence
One of the greatest advantages of installing a solar battery is gaining greater control over your energy consumption. Without a battery, you depend on the grid for power when your solar panels aren’t producing electricity, like at night. A solar battery allows you to store extra energy generated during the day for future use, significantly reducing your reliance on the grid. This is especially beneficial in areas prone to power outages or where the grid is unstable. With a solar battery, you can produce, store, and consume your own energy, minimizing dependence on external sources.
Reliable backup power during outages
A solar battery serves as a silent, efficient backup generator, free from noise, fumes, or complicated setups. When a power outage occurs, your battery automatically activates, ensuring your home remains powered. This feature is crucial for homeowners who rely on medical devices that need continuous power or cannot afford to lose electricity. Picture a storm knocking out power in your neighborhood; thanks to your solar battery, your home can stay energized for hours, depending on the battery’s capacity.
Financial savings
Investing in a solar battery can help you virtually eliminate your electricity bills. Your savings will vary based on energy consumption and local electricity rates. A solar battery allows you to store surplus energy when prices are low (like midday when your solar panels are active) and use it when prices are high (such as during peak evening hours). This shift not only reduces your costs but also maximises your solar investment.
Positive environmental impact
Solar batteries benefit not only your finances but also the environment. By storing and utilising more of the solar energy produced by your panels, you decrease the need to draw electricity from fossil-fuel-powered grids. This transition leads to fewer greenhouse gas emissions and a diminished carbon footprint. At MPV Solar, we are committed to collaborating with our community to promote sustainable energy solutions across Australia.

FAQs about solar battery & storage solutions
Your questions about MPV residential and commercial solar battery and storage questions answered.
How to pick a solar battery?
When selecting a solar battery, consider the following factors:
- Capacity: Look for a battery with enough storage capacity (measured in kW) to meet your energy needs.
- Chemistry: Evaluate types (lithium-ion vs. lead-acid) based on lifespan, efficiency, and cost.
- Depth of Discharge (DoD): Choose a battery that allows for a high DoD to maximise usable energy.
- Warranty: Check the warranty period for manufacturer support.
- Compatibility: Ensure the battery is compatible with your existing solar system.
MPV Solar can help you with this process.
How much do solar batteries cost?
Solar battery costs can vary widely based on type and capacity. On average, prices can range from $200 to $1,500 per kWh of capacity. Overall system costs, including installation, may range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more depending on the system size and technology used.
What size solar battery do I need?
The size of the solar battery you need depends on your daily energy usage and how much energy you want to store. Calculate your average daily consumption in kW and select a battery that can meet or exceed this demand, accounting for peak usage times.
Are lithium batteries better for solar panels?
Yes, lithium batteries are generally better for solar panels due to their higher efficiency, longer lifespan, lighter weight, and better energy density compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
Is it worth getting a battery for solar panels?
Investing in a solar battery can be worthwhile if you’re looking to increase energy independence, save on electricity bills, and ensure power availability during outages. Assess your local electricity rates and incentives to determine financial benefits.
How long does a solar battery last at night?
The duration a solar battery can supply power at night depends on its capacity and your energy consumption. A fully charged battery can typically last anywhere from a few hours to overnight, depending on usage patterns.
How much does a Tesla Powerwall cost?
The cost of a Tesla Powerwall can vary based on location, installation costs, and any additional components that may be needed for your specific solar setup. MPV Solar can attend site and provide you with a FREE quote.
What happens if my solar batteries are full?
If the batteries are full, excess energy generated from your solar panels may be fed back into the grid (if net metering is available) or may be wasted unless your system is equipped to divert excess energy.
How long do solar batteries last?
Generally, lithium-ion batteries last around 10-15 years, while lead-acid batteries typically last 3-7 years. Lifespan can depend on various factors including usage, depth of discharge, and environmental conditions.
