If you’re looking at an Alpha ESS battery, chances are the specs look fine, the price seems reasonable, and the installer sounds confident. However, there’s usually one concern sitting in the background: what happens if something goes wrong five or eight years down the track…

You’ve probably heard the news by now: The Tesla Powerwall 3 is now compatible with the Powerwall 2. For many existing Powerwall owners in Australia, that’s a welcome update. If you already have a Powerwall 2, it finally gives you a way to expand your storage without replaci…

Solar batteries are becoming more common in NSW as rebates expand, electricity prices rise, and battery technology improves. With more households moving faster on battery decisions—especially following changes to the Cheaper Home Batteries Program—questions about insurance are…

For the past year and a half, the Sigenergy SigenStor has largely set the benchmark for all-in-one home energy systems. With its modular design, integrated inverter, EV charging capability and smart energy ecosystem, it quickly became one of the most talked-about battery platfo…

If you’re renting in Queensland, you’ve probably wondered: Why do homeowners get solar savings — but renters don’t? Electricity prices shift. Rooftop solar is everywhere. However, if you don’t own the roof, installing panels hasn’t really been an option. For landlords…
