Australia is now in a situation where we have abundant solar power in the middle of the day. And homes with solar don't need any power from the grid and are in state sending their excess into the system. But when solar production drops off in the evening, just as people return home from work, the electricity grid has a sudden spike in demand. Solar households with a battery can charge it when they are producing more power than they need, and then use that solar power later in the evening, thereby reducing the amount of power being used from the grid at crunch times in the evening. 

Some electricity providers have already signaled that feed in tariffs will go to zero in the future, and at some point, they will go negative. What does that mean? The feed in tariff is the amount you get paid for selling your excess solar electricity back into the grid. But that means if they go negative in the not too distant future, we will be charged a fee to send our excess solar out to the grid. It will actually cost us money. 

Peter used to sell his excess solar back to the grid for $0.05 /kwh. At night time, he bought back his own electricity for $0.31 / kwh. It just didn’t make sense to him. 

By adding the GreenVolt battery, it is fully charged by about 12:00 PM most days. Peter is able to save that excess solar generation and use it himself at night. Peter now has Free electricity day and night for the rest of his life. And that includes the electricity used to charge his wife’s EV to give her 2,000 kilometers of range per month not only by using daytime solar power but stored solar power saves in the GreenVolt battery during night time .

 GreenVolt is flexible and expandable. Additional battery modules can be added anytime if you need more power. You can also join a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program to earn rewards even without solar panels. GreenVolt is smart, flexible, and helps you earn more in the long run.

High-voltage batteries deliver stronger and more stable power, faster charging, and more effectively work with household appliances. GreenVolt adopts high-voltage battery to enhance overall energy performance.

GreenESS offers a warranty of GreenVolt up to 10 years. The warranty remains valid with normal use at home. However, if the battery is damaged or used improperly, the warranty period may be shortened. See details in Warranty & Service Conditions.

Yes. Government incentives are available to help cover the cost of battery installation. GreenVolt qualifies for these programs. You could get up to $15,000 from the federal government, plus an extra $4,500 if you're in NSW.

You don’t need to apply on your own. We or our certified installers will take care of the application process for you. We'll let you know what information is needed and help you fill them out.

Start by contacting us. We’ll evaluate your household energy needs, recommend the appropriate battery size, apply for available rebates, and arrange the installation. We handle the whole process for you, so you don't need to worry about anything.

Yes. GreenVolt is compatible with VPP. It allows battery power export to the grid and earn bill credits or rewards.

It's about maximizing how much of your own rooftop solar you can use throughout the day and reducing the reliance on the grid and also thereby reducing your power bills. However, if there is a blackout, a home with a battery can use that battery to keep their power going without disruptions.  

A common house uses about 10 kwh per day to power the refrigerator and appliances on standby. Running the air conditioning can bring this up as highest 20 kwh. A typical 27 or 28 kWh GreenVolt battery is enough to cover a full day of household electricity use. We offer free energy assessments to help you choose the battery size that best fits your needs.
