Home installation of Sigenergy Battery

Description

This homeowner had an existing 10kW solar system that consistently produced more electricity than the household consumed during the day. While the excess energy was being exported back to the grid, the financial return was minimal—just a small credit on their power bill through the feed-in tariff. With rising electricity prices and increasing uncertainty around future energy costs, they wanted a smarter, more sustainable solution. Lenergy provided the perfect upgrade: a 24kWh Sigenergy 3-phase battery system. By integrating this advanced storage solution, the homeowners are now able to capture and store their surplus solar energy during the day and use it during the evening or during power outages. This not only enhances the self-consumption of solar energy but also provides peace of mind, resilience, and protection from grid disruptions. The Sigenergy battery’s 3-phase configuration ensures balanced power delivery across the home’s electrical phases, making it ideal for larger homes or those with higher energy demands. With this system in place, the homeowners have significantly reduced their reliance on the grid and taken a major step toward full energy independence. The total installation cost was $21,000, which included the NSW State Battery Rebate. To make the transition even more affordable, the homeowners opted for Lenergy’s 0% interest green loan, repaid over five years. This made the upgrade achievable without any upfront cost, allowing the savings on energy bills to help offset the repayment. This project is a great example of how existing solar customers can maximise their investment by adding a battery solution. The result is not just better energy management—it’s a long-term strategy for energy security, bill reduction, and sustainability.
