Home battery storage system installed by Gecko on the Coffs Coast
Battery Storage

Keep your solar power for when the sun goes down.

A home battery stores the energy your panels make through the day, so your place runs on it at night instead of buying it back from the grid. Sized and fitted by the same local team, start to finish.

More of the power you already make, used in your own home.

Most solar systems send their extra power back to the grid through the day for a small feed-in payment, then buy it back at a higher rate once the sun is down. A battery closes that gap. It holds the energy your panels generate so the evening, the morning, and a grid outage all run on power you have already paid for. No jargon, no oversized systems, just storage that suits how your home actually uses power.

  • Run your home on stored solar after dark instead of peak-rate grid power.
  • Keep selected circuits running through a blackout, depending on the system you choose.
  • Lean less on the grid and get steadier, more predictable power costs.
  • Add a battery to an existing solar system, or have both fitted together.

When the grid goes down

Power that keeps the essentials on.

A battery with backup does three things the moment the grid drops out: it detects the outage, isolates your home safely, and keeps your selected circuits running. How much it covers and for how long comes down to the system you choose and how your home is wired, and we will walk you through the options before you decide.

Add storage without starting over.

A GoodWe home battery added to existing solar at a Coffs Coast home

If you already have panels on the roof, you usually do not need to pull working gear off to add a battery. We add storage to the solar you have, which keeps the upgrade simpler, faster, and easier on the budget while protecting the investment you have already made.

  • No unnecessary removal of equipment that is still doing its job.
  • Lower upgrade costs than replacing a whole system.
  • A faster install, with less disruption to your home.
  • Protects the original investment in your existing solar.
The batteries we install

Built around the GoodWe All-in-One.

For most homes we fit the GoodWe All-in-One: a single tidy unit that houses the battery and inverter together, sized to how your place uses power. It is the system we install day in, day out, so you get gear we know inside out and stand behind.

The All-in-One keeps the install clean and the day-to-day simple. Battery and inverter sit in the one cabinet, wired in by the same two licensed locals who size it, fit it, and show you how to run it.

  • One integrated unit, battery and inverter together, less clutter on the wall.
  • Sized to your home and solar, not the biggest box on the shelf.
  • Fitted and commissioned by Jordan and Matty, start to finish.
  • Pairs with new or existing solar.

We also install Sungrow battery systems where they suit a home better. Whichever way we go, we match the system to how you actually use power and back it with proper local support.

Your battery job stays with Jordan and Matty the whole way, from working out the right size to switching it on. No salesperson, no subbie, no call centre.

    We size it to how you use power

    Jordan or Matty looks at your bills, your solar, and how your home runs, then matches the battery to how much you actually store and use.

Common questions

Batteries, answered straight.

Can I add a battery to solar I already have?

In most cases, yes. Plenty of homes start with solar panels and add storage later, and we can usually do it without removing gear that is still working. Tell us what system you have now and we will let you know what fits with it.

Will a battery keep my power on in a blackout?

A battery with backup will detect the outage, isolate your home safely, and keep selected circuits running. How much it covers depends on the system and how it is wired, and we will walk you through the options for your home.

What size battery do I need?

That comes down to how much power you use, when you use it, and how big your solar system is. We size it to your home rather than selling you the biggest unit on the shelf.

Which batteries do you install?

For most homes we fit the GoodWe All-in-One, the system we install most and know best. We also install Sungrow where it suits a home better. Either way, we recommend the one that fits how your home uses power.

Do you install batteries across the Coffs Coast?

Yes. We are based in Coffs Harbour and cover Bellingen, Woolgoolga, Sawtell, and homes right across the Mid North Coast. If you are nearby, give us a call and we will let you know.

Thinking about battery storage for your home?

Tell us about your place and how you use power. You will get a straight answer on whether a battery makes sense and what it would cost.
