Installing solar panels is a great start—but without a battery, you’re only halfway to energy independence. Across Queensland, more homeowners are realising the value of adding a solar battery to their system—and it’s not just about saving money. It’s about taking control.
At Infinity Energy Solutions, we help families get the most out of their solar by pairing it with safe, reliable, and future-ready battery systems. Here’s why now is the time to invest.
Store It, Use It, Save More
Without a battery, any excess energy your solar panels generate during the day is exported to the grid. And when the sun goes down? You’re back to paying retail rates for electricity.
With a solar battery, that energy stays right where it belongs—with you.
- Daytime sunshine powers your home.
- Excess power charges the battery.
- Stored energy runs your home at night or during peak rates.
It’s a closed loop that not only slashes your bills but reduces your reliance on the energy companies. And when there’s a blackout? You’ve still got power.
Power When the Grid Can’t Provide
Queensland’s storm season is no joke. One downed line, and you’re left without air con, fridge, lights or even Wi-Fi. But with a properly installed solar battery, you’re protected.
Modern battery systems offer instant backup during outages—keeping critical appliances running when you need them most. From a few hours of backup to full-day coverage, it’s energy you can count on when everything else goes dark.
More Than Just Savings—A Greener Footprint
We’re all trying to do our bit for the planet. Solar panels are a fantastic start—but when you add storage, you multiply the benefits. With less need to draw power from fossil-fuel-burning generators, your home becomes cleaner, greener, and more self-sufficient.
Its sustainability is practical.
Choosing the Right Solar Battery: What to Know
Not all batteries are created equal. When investing in a home energy system, quality matters—and the wrong battery could cost you more than you save.
Here’s what smart buyers look for:
- Power Output (kW): How much energy the battery can deliver at once. This determines which appliances can run off it.
- Storage Capacity (kWh): Total amount of energy the battery can hold and deliver.
- Depth of Discharge (DoD): How much of the battery’s total capacity you can safely use.
- Efficiency: High round-trip efficiency means you get more usable power from what your solar panels produce.
- Warranty & Cycles: A 10-year warranty is great—but also check how many charge/discharge cycles it’s rated for.
- IP Rating: Especially important for outdoor installs—this tells you how well the unit resists dust, rain, or water ingress.
At Infinity, we offer solutions like the REA Powerbank, which delivers 10.1kWh of energy capacity, a 5kW power output, 95% DoD, and 10,000-cycle lifespan. Plus, its IP65 rating makes it ideal for outdoor conditions, and it can be scaled up to 60.6kWh if your needs grow.
Why Poor-Quality Batteries Are a Risk
Unfortunately, the solar boom has flooded the market with questionable products. Cheap batteries often cut corners on safety, longevity, and efficiency. You could end up with:
- Overheating risks or fire hazards
- Poor performance during blackouts
- Shorter lifespans and more frequent replacements
- Voided warranties due to improper installation
Worse still, they can be incompatible with your existing system—leaving you with extra expenses just to make things work.
That’s why we only work with trusted suppliers and Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) certified installers, ensuring your battery is installed safely and performs as expected.
