How Battery Storage Helped a Victorian Family Cut Energy Bills by 50%

Discover how Kurt from Victoria reduced his energy bills by 50% and gained blackout protection with a Solahart home battery solution.

Why Install a Home Battery?

Installing a home battery isn’t just smart - it’s a game-changer. By storing excess solar energy generated during the day, you can power your home long after the sun sets. That means less reliance on the grid, lower electricity bills, and more control over your energy future - especially during costly evening peak hours.

Plus, a battery provides peace of mind during blackouts. With backup power for essential appliances like your fridge, you stay connected when it matters most. 

Real results: Kurt’s Experience with Solahart Battery Storage

Kurt and his family live in a Victorian region prone to frequent blackouts. Concerned about rising energy costs and power outages, they turned to Solahart for a solution. “Where we live, we have a lot of blackouts. With the rising cost of power, we thought solar and battery storage was the most sensible way to reduce our electricity bills,” Kurt said.

Upon reviewing their energy usage and habits, Solahart recommended a SolarEdge Energy Bank Home battery designed to maximise the solar savings and provide reliable backup. 

Key benefits of the system:

  • 9.7 kWh storage capacity with 94.5% round-trip efficiency. Round-trip efficiency indicates the percentage of the battery that can be used relative to its overall capacity. For example, the SolarEdge system is designed to not use more than 9.16 kWh (94.5% of 9.7 kWh) of energy before recharging. This will improve the life of the battery.
  • Expandable: Up to three batteries can operate in parallel per inverter, should Kurt and his family wish to increase their storage capacity.
  • Peace of mind: 10-year product and performance warranties.¹

Kurt is reaping the benefits, with a 50% reduction in energy savings. “The energy savings that Solahart estimated we would make would be about half, about 50%. We’re definitely hitting that, more so with the battery now.”

Solahart Support That Goes Beyond Installation

Solahart’s commitment does not end with installation. Kurt praised the ongoing support from his local Solahart consultant:

“Cameron is always just a phone call away. He checks in annually and helped us crunch the numbers when we added the battery. He showed us graphs and figures and confirmed our home was perfect for battery storage.”
