Harry Coomans’s Moss Vale home makes more power than it uses. He’s self sufficient, sitting in credit, and charging an electric car for next to nothing on a system that grew with his home. This is one homeowner’s honest Moss Vale solar review, and a look at what a solar and bat…

In Southern NSW and the ACT the winter electricity bill climbs because we use more power at the worst possible time. Heaters work harder. Hot water runs longer. The sun clocks off early and most usage lands in the evening, the most expensive time of day to be pulling from the g…

We install one battery brand. Here’s why. At Lenergy, we’ve chosen to partner with Sigenergy as a platinum installer. Right now, they’re the best home battery brand on the market, with cutting edge technology, the most advanced specs and unparalleled levels of safety. That’s…

The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) wants to change how electricity network costs are charged to Australian households, shifting more of the cost into a flat daily charge you pay regardless of how much power you use. Solar and batteries still would remain the best op…

If you have been watching the solar battery rebate closely over the past few months, you already know the story: there was a scramble to get systems commissioned before 1 May 2026, and a lot of homeowners missed that window. Maybe your installer ran behind. Maybe stock ran shor…

You’ve just been quoted a battery system, and it’s not the one you expected. Maybe it’s the Anker SOLIX X1 — a name you’ve never heard of. Or perhaps it’s the Tesla Powerwall 3 — which you have heard of, but you’re wondering if it’s still worth the price tag. No matter which…
