Best Solar Batteries in Adelaide
Keep Your Power in Adelaide with a Solar Battery
Your solar panels work hard all day, but without a battery, most of that energy goes straight back to the grid—giving you only a small feed-in return. With a solar battery from Generate Energy, you can store your excess solar power and use it when you need it most, reducing your reliance on the grid and protecting yourself from rising electricity costs.
Here are some reasons why you should install a solar battery:
- Use Your Solar Energy Around the Clock – Store extra solar power during the day and use it at night instead of buying expensive grid electricity.
- Reduce Peak-Time Costs – Avoid high electricity rates during peak periods by tapping into your battery’s stored power.
- Blackout Protection – Stay powered through outages—your battery can keep your lights, fridge, and essential appliances running when the grid goes down.
- Make the Most of SA’s Time-of-Use Tariffs – With electricity prices fluctuating throughout the day, a battery helps you avoid costly peak rates and maximise your savings.
Adelaide’s energy market is changing, and households that store their own power are seeing lower bills, fewer disruptions, and more energy security.
Why a Solar Battery is a Smart Choice for Adelaide Homes
Adelaide households are no strangers to rising electricity prices and unpredictable grid reliability. While solar panels reduce daytime power costs, without a battery, much of that energy goes to waste or is sold back to the grid for a small return. Instead of letting the grid dictate your energy use, a solar battery lets you store the power you generate and use it when it benefits you most.
With South Australia’s time-of-use tariffs and frequent peak pricing, relying on grid electricity at the wrong time can be expensive. A solar battery allows you to shift your energy consumption, reducing your dependence on the grid and taking advantage of the power you’ve already generated. Whether you’re looking to cut costs, gain more energy security, or protect your home from blackouts, a battery is the key to getting the most out of your solar system.
Stay Powered Through Blackouts in Adelaide
South Australia has experienced its fair share of grid instability, with storms, heatwaves, and unexpected outages leaving homes without power. If you rely solely on the grid, a blackout means everything stops—no lights, no internet, no refrigeration, and no way to power essential devices.
With a solar battery from Generate Energy, you can keep your home running even when the grid goes down. Here’s how it works:
- Instant Backup Power – The moment an outage occurs, your battery automatically kicks in to power your home.
- Keep Essential Appliances Running – Lights, fridges, medical devices, and Wi-Fi can stay operational when you need them most.
- Peace of Mind During Storms & Heatwaves – Adelaide’s weather can be unpredictable, but with a battery, you won’t be left in the dark.
- No More Relying on the Grid – While others scramble for candles and torches, you’ll have stored solar energy ready to use.
A solar battery ensures you’re prepared for whatever happens, giving you a reliable energy source when the grid fails.
Choosing the Right Solar Battery for Your Adelaide Home
Solar batteries come in different sizes, capabilities, and technologies, so finding the right one depends on your specific needs. Some are designed to maximise self-consumption, others prioritise backup power during blackouts, and some allow you to join Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) for added savings.
The best battery for your home depends on your energy habits, budget, and long-term goals. Whether you’re looking at Tesla, BYD, or Sungrow, each brand offers unique advantages in storage capacity, efficiency, and backup capability. Whether your focus is on reducing electricity bills, storing solar for night-time use, or ensuring backup power during outages, Generate Energy can help you find the ideal solution.
Solar Battery Rebates & Incentives in South Australia
If you’re considering a solar battery, several incentives can help reduce the cost of installation in South Australia:
- City of Adelaide Battery Rebate – Homeowners and businesses in the City of Adelaide can access up to $2,000 off a new solar battery installation.
- Federal STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) – While primarily for solar panels, STCs help lower the cost of a complete solar and battery system.
- Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) – While not a direct rebate, selling excess energy back to the grid can improve the return on your solar and battery investment.
- Small Business Energy Grants – Eligible businesses investing in battery storage may receive grants up to $50,000 to help offset costs.
Solar battery incentives make it easier to store your own power, reduce energy costs, and increase energy reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are batteries worth the capital outlay?
Every household is different and needs to be analysed. However with lowering feed in tariffs, spiraling inflation and escalating electricity import tariffs there is no better a case to be made to install a battery.
A battery can help insulate your household from these present and future uncertainties by soaking up this low value export and then using it to offset high cost peak import.
Who can put a price on having the lights on during a blackout.
Which is the best sized battery?
This answer is made up of many variables and every household is different. Generally speaking most of our customers have purchased a battery in the 10-14kWh size range as it currently represents the best value for money with the products available.
Will battery pricing reduce in the near future like solar panels have?
In recent years with the evolution of Electric Vehicles some economies of scale price reductions have come to light, however inversely the recent rapid uptake of EV’s has exceeded the capacity for the battery minerals to be sourced.
It is expected this will be an issue going forward for some years to come and will cause price increases rather than reductions and this trend is already upon us as we are already experiencing battery price increases.
