A solar battery stores excess energy produced during the day so it can power your home in the evening, during peak electricity periods or—when properly designed—during a grid outage.
JA Electrical & Solar designs and installs complete battery systems across the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast. We assess your electricity usage, existing solar, tariffs, backup requirements and future plans before recommending a battery.

A battery can significantly reduce your reliance on the grid, but only when it is matched to your home and how you use electricity.
We consider:
Installing a battery does not automatically mean your entire home will operate normally during a blackout.
We assess which circuits should be backed up, the battery’s output capacity and the starting requirements of larger appliances. Depending on the selected system and your property, backup may cover essential circuits or a larger portion of the home.
We explain these limitations before installation so you understand exactly what your battery will—and will not—operate during an outage.
We review your bill, electricity usage, existing solar and what you want the battery to achieve.
We recommend the battery capacity, inverter arrangement and backup configuration suited to your property.
Our team installs, tests and commissions the system and completes the required documentation.
We configure your monitoring, explain how the battery operates and remain available after installation.

This depends on your evening and overnight consumption, available excess solar, backup requirements and budget. Bigger is not always better if the battery cannot be regularly charged and used.
Often, yes. We first assess your existing inverter, solar capacity, switchboard and monitoring arrangement to determine the best solution.
It depends on the battery, inverter output, switchboard configuration and household loads. We clearly define the proposed backup arrangement before installation.
Many battery systems can charge from the grid when configured appropriately. This may be useful with time-of-use tariffs, energy retailer programs or periods of low solar production.
Tell us about your existing solar, electricity usage and what you want your battery to achieve. We’ll assess your property and recommend a system designed around your actual needs.
