Residential Solar & Battery Storage Packages

6.6kW Solar System

Family Home Saver

Info: The most popular size in Australia. Ideal for medium to large families (3-5 people) with average daily consumption (approx. $20-$30 kWh/day).

Benefits: Significantly reduces electricity bills by covering most daytime usage. Excellent balance of cost and power output.

10.3kW Solar System

Family Home Saver

Info: Perfect for larger families or high-energy users with significant consumption from appliances like ducted A/C, pool pumps, or a home office.

Benefits: Maximises bill savings, provides ample power for all-day usage, and is an excellent “battery-ready” option for future storage.

13.2kW Solar System

Ultimate Energy Independence

Info: The largest system typically approved for single-phase residential properties (or for high-consumption 3-phase homes). Suited for homes with very high daily energy demands (over $35 kWh/day).

Benefits: Generates substantial excess energy for charging a large battery, EV, or maximising feed-in tariffs. Fastest potential return on investment for high users.

20kWh Battery Storage

Essential Home Backup

Info: A large-capacity battery system for storing solar energy or cheaper off-peak grid power. Generally sufficient to run critical loads and many major appliances overnight and through typical blackouts.

Benefits: High level of energy self-sufficiency, maximises solar usage (reducing reliance on the grid), and provides security during power outages.

30kWh Battery Storage

Whole Home Powerhouse

Info: A very high-capacity battery, often achieved by linking multiple units. Designed for large homes with high night-time consumption or those seeking multi-day blackout protection for the entire property.

Benefits: Ultra-high self-consumption; can power a large home and EV charging overnight without drawing from the grid.

40kWh Battery Storage

Ultimate Off-Grid Ready Storage

Info: Represents a serious commitment to energy independence, providing substantial storage for homes with extremely high loads or for off-grid scenarios requiring several days of autonomy.

Benefits: Near-total energy independence from the grid; suitable for luxury homes or properties focused on reliable, long-duration backup.

6.6kW Solar + 20kWh Battery

Solar & Security Power Pack

Info: Combines the most popular solar size with a large battery. The 6.6kW system generates ample power to charge the 20kWh battery daily.

Target User: Families wanting to cover their daytime use, run off-grid at night, and have significant backup power in case of a blackout.

10kW Solar + 30kWh Battery

Premium Energy Control System

Info: A high-end solution pairing a large solar array with a very large battery storage bank. Designed for maximum self-sufficiency and high-load management.

Target User: Large homes, those with high evening energy demands (EV charging, hot tubs, etc.), or customers seeking the lowest possible reliance on the electricity grid.

Commercial & Industrial Solar & Storage Solutions

30kW Solar System

Small-to-Medium Business Powerhouse

Best For: Medium-sized offices, restaurants, larger retail stores, small warehouses, or large homes with high daytime energy use.

Benefit: Typical payback period of 3-5 years due to high daytime energy savings and commercial incentives (where available).

50kW Solar System

Mid-to-Large Commercial Energy Solution

Best For: Larger office buildings, medium-sized manufacturing units, supermarkets, or facilities with high HVAC and machinery loads.

Use Case: Provides substantial daytime power offset for businesses with increased energy demands beyond the 30kW limit.

60kW Solar System

Large Commercial & Industrial Scale

Best For: Facilities with significant and sustained energy consumption, such as schools, hotels, light industrial plants, or large cold storage.

Capacity: One of the most popular sizes for C&I applications, offering high capacity before moving into much larger utility-scale projects.

60kWh Battery Storage

Peak Shaving & Backup Power

Type: Typically LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) in high-voltage rack or cabinet solutions.

Best For: Commercial users with a 60kW solar system or those needing to cover critical overnight loads or manage peak demand for 4-8 hours.

Main Function: Peak Shaving (discharging the battery during high-cost peak grid tariff hours to avoid demand charges).

80kWh Battery Storage

Enhanced Commercial Resilience & Load Shifting

Best For: Businesses with higher critical load requirements or operations that extend further into the evening (e.g., restaurants, data centers, manufacturing shifts).

Use Case: Provides a longer or more powerful backup supply and is often paired with a 50kW to 60kW solar system to maximize solar self-consumption.

100kWh Battery Storage

Major Commercial Energy Storage System (BESS)

Design: Often an All-in-One Cabinet solution, integrating battery, inverter (PCS), and thermal management.

Best For: Industrial facilities, large commercial complexes, or applications requiring significant autonomy and sophisticated grid services.

Capacity: Provides substantial buffer for severe grid outages and offers maximum potential for arbitrage (buying low, selling/using high).

Customer Reviews

Questions For Us

Some General Question?

How do solar panels actually work?

Solar panels (or photovoltaic, PV, cells) convert sunlight directly into DC (Direct Current) electricity. This DC electricity is then fed into an inverter, which changes it into AC (Alternating Current) electricity—the type of power used by your home appliances and the national grid. This process happens silently and continuously whenever the sun is shining.

How much does a typical solar system cost?

The cost varies significantly based on your home’s energy needs, the system size (kW), the quality of the components (Tier 1 vs. standard), and whether a battery storage solution is included. However, solar is an investment. The upfront cost is offset by the substantial savings on electricity bills and various government incentives available in regions like Australia, the UK, and New Zealand.

How long does the installation process usually take?

Once your design and permits are approved, the physical installation typically takes just 1 to 3 days for a standard residential system. The total timeline, including initial site assessment, customized system design, and obtaining necessary local permissions, usually spans a few weeks. Auster Solar manages all permitting paperwork for you.

Do solar panels still work when it's cloudy or raining?

Yes, they do. Solar panels generate power using daylight, not just direct sunshine. While efficiency decreases on heavily overcast days, your system will still produce a usable amount of electricity. This is why system sizing is crucial; our experts design your system to account for regional weather patterns.

What kind of maintenance is required for a solar system?

Solar systems require very little maintenance. Most high-quality panels are self-cleaning due to rain. We recommend an annual visual inspection and a professional clean or check-up every few years to ensure peak performance. Auster Solar provides detailed care guides and offers maintenance plans.

Are there any government incentives, grants, or rebates available?

Yes. All three regions (Australia, the UK, and New Zealand) offer various incentives, grants, or schemes (like Australia’s STCs, the UK’s Export Guarantee, or local NZ grants) to encourage solar adoption. These programs change frequently. Our team specializes in navigating these complex schemes to ensure you maximize all available financial benefits and rebates for your system.

How long do modern Tier 1 solar panels last?

Modern Tier 1 solar panels are built to last. Most panels come with a performance guarantee of 25 years, ensuring they will still operate at over 80% of their original efficiency after two and a half decades. In reality, most panels continue to produce energy long after this warranty period expires.

Do I need to install a battery with my solar panels?

A battery (like a Powerwall or similar storage unit) is optional but highly recommended. Without a battery, any excess energy generated during the day is sent back to the grid. A battery stores this surplus energy, allowing you to power your home at night, during power outages, or when electricity tariffs are high, maximizing your energy independence and savings.
