01
Reasons to add storage
Common aims include increasing solar self-use, shifting grid imports to cheaper periods and providing selected backup functions where the system is designed for it.
02
Questions for the model
Check usable capacity, round-trip losses, depth of discharge, cycle assumptions, maximum power, warranty conditions and whether the inverter can support the intended operating mode.
03
Export is a separate decision
Eligible small-scale generators may receive an export tariff under the Smart Export Guarantee. Suppliers set their own tariffs and conditions, so compare current offers directly.
