Solar Batteries vs No Batteries: Which Option is Best for Melbourne Homes?

 As more Victorians turn to solar power, one question stands out: Should you add a solar battery or just install panels? While panels alone help cut daytime electricity costs, pairing them with a battery takes your energy savings and independence to the next level.

At Climate Green, we guide Melbourne homeowners in choosing the most effective energy solution for their homes.

What is a Solar Battery?

A solar battery stores extra power your panels generate during the day. Instead of exporting unused energy back to the grid for a small credit, you can use it later at night, during cloudy weather, or in power outages, making your home more self-sufficient and cost-efficient.
