Battery & Energy Storage

Take Control
of Your Power.

Battery storage transforms your solar system from a daytime generator into a 24/7 energy solution. Store what you generate. Use it when you need it. Never pay peak rates again.

Why Add Battery Storage

Solar generates power.
Batteries give you control.

Without a battery, excess solar energy is exported to the grid at low feed-in tariff rates — often just 5–8 cents per kWh. With a battery, you store that energy and use it at night when grid rates are 30–40 cents. The maths is compelling.

Use solar energy at night — not just during the day
Eliminate peak-rate electricity charges
Full blackout protection — keep the lights on
Maximise self-consumption of your solar generation
Future-proof your home for EV charging

Blackout Protection

When the grid goes down, your battery keeps your home powered. Critical loads — fridge, lights, internet — stay on automatically.

Time-of-Use Savings

Charge your battery during cheap off-peak periods or from solar, then discharge during expensive peak periods. Smart energy arbitrage.

Maximise Solar ROI

A battery can increase your solar self-consumption from 30% to over 80%, dramatically improving the return on your solar investment.

Future-Ready Systems

TRC installs battery systems with capacity for expansion. As your needs grow — EV, pool, air conditioning — your system grows with you.

Solar + Battery Integration

How it all works together.

01

Solar Generates

Your panels generate power during daylight hours, powering your home in real time.

02

Battery Stores Excess

Surplus solar energy charges your battery instead of being exported at low rates.

03

Battery Powers at Night

After sunset, your battery discharges to power your home — no grid electricity needed.

04

Grid as Backup Only

The grid is your safety net, not your primary source. You're in control.
