Eco-friendly Battery Solutions
Cut Your Energy Costs By Storing Solar Power
With Eco Choice Heating Cooling Solar, you can significantly reduce your energy bills and combat the rising costs of electricity. Our solar power solutions with batteries are designed to provide sustainable energy tailored to your needs both day and night.
Eco Choice will walk you through choosing your solar battery. Then guide you through the process of relevant Australian Government Rebate application. Get paid to stop using dirty, coal power and start using clean, green energy by switching to renewable energy today!
We recommend and install the following batteries
At Eco Choice we work with leading brands like RedEarth, Tesla and Sungrow to deliver top-tier batteries for exceptional performance. Our comprehensive approach ensures that your solar system with batteries is not only cost-effective but also reliable and efficient, providing you with peace of mind and energy independence.
Consider that in Victoria the minimum feed-in tariff is 5 cents. While you are likely paying 25 – 35 cents from your retailer. It makes sense to store your solar energy and use it at night when you need it.
Solar battery rebate
As part of the Victorian Solar Rebate, some pre-existing solar installations are eligible for the rebate on solar batteries.
Empower Your Home With Solar Energy
Solar batteries can be charged during off-peak hours for improved efficiency and cost savings. This strategy is known as “solar battery arbitrage” and can be a smart way to maximise the benefits of your solar battery system.
How It Works
Step 1
Off-Peak Charging
During off-peak hours, typically overnight, electricity rates are lower due to decreased demand.
Step 2
Strategic Usage
The stored energy is then used during peak hours when electricity rates are higher, usually during the day and early evening.
Step 3
Cost Savings
By using stored off-peak energy during peak times, you can avoid paying premium rates for electricity.
Benefits and Considerations
Potential Savings: In some cases, charging batteries with off-peak electricity can be more cost-effective than using solar power, especially if the solar feed-in tariff is higher than the off-peak rate.
Flexibility: This approach allows you to benefit from battery storage even on cloudy days or when solar production is low.
Grid Independence: By strategically using off-peak charging, you can reduce reliance on the grid during expensive peak hours.
Efficiency: Some modern battery systems are designed to automatically optimize charging and discharging based on electricity rates and usage patterns.
