Home Battery Storage in Melbourne
Sigenergy, Sungrow and GoodWe battery systems. Store excess solar, slash power bills and stay on during blackouts.
Quick Answer
Melbourne Power Group installs Sigenergy, Sungrow and GoodWe home batteries across Melbourne. A battery stores your excess solar for evening use, can keep essential circuits running through blackouts, and — combined with the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount — typically pays for itself years sooner than it used to. We size every system from your actual usage data, never a template.

Battery Storage questions, answered
Is a home battery worth it in Melbourne?
For most households with solar, yes — batteries shift your free daytime solar into the expensive evening peak. With the federal battery discount lowering upfront costs, payback periods in Victoria have shortened dramatically.
Will a battery keep my power on in a blackout?
Yes, if configured with backup. We set up essential circuits — fridge, lights, internet — to switch over automatically within seconds of an outage on supported systems.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In most cases, yes. AC-coupled batteries work alongside almost any existing solar system, and we'll confirm compatibility during your free assessment.
What size battery do I need?
Most Melbourne family homes land between 10kWh and 16kWh. We size from your actual evening usage rather than a one-size-fits-all package, so you don't pay for capacity you'll never cycle.
