10kW Solar Battery Bardon: Case Study Snapshot
This 10kw solar battery Bardon installation shows how a hail-damage upgrade turned into a complete energy independence system.
The Story
This Bardon property now generates 133% of the power it needs. The owners expect over $98,971 in lifetime savings. A bad hailstorm smashed their old panels, and insurance covered the replacement — Connect Energy stepped in to upgrade the whole setup.
The new system pairs 9.5kW of solar with a 24.2kWh battery. The homeowners claimed over $7,458 in government rebates, and the system produces 13,268 kWh a year, comfortably covering heavy summer aircon use.
The payback period sits at under 6 years. Whole-home blackout protection was also wired in, so when Energex drops out during summer storms, the lights stay on.

The Solution
Connect Energy installed a complete solar and battery solution for this Bardon home, selecting premium equipment suited to the site’s generation profile.
System Performance
The system generates 13,268 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 133% of the household’s annual energy consumption.
Financial Impact
This system significantly reduces the household’s electricity costs, with savings that grow as energy prices rise.
Government incentives applied to this project included Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and the Queensland Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which together reduced the upfront cost by over $7,458.
