The Story
This Acacia Ridge property will save over $41,784 in energy costs over the system lifetime. They were losing money every time the Energex grid dropped out. Blackouts stopped their home office work and paused the warehouse. We fixed that.
We installed a massive 30.0kW solar array and a 36.2kWh battery system. It generates 30,000 kWh of power every single year. We also claimed over $6,000 in government rebates for them upfront.
The whole setup pays for itself in under seven years. They run their aircon through summer and keep the warehouse moving without relying on the grid. Reliable power makes running things much easier.
“Very impressed with the whole process. The team at Connect Energy got it sorted without any fuss. Great to have the backup power working.”
The grid goes down in Acacia Ridge a few times a year. That costs this client serious money in lost productivity. We designed a custom blackout protection system. The new battery keeps their site running during outages. They get reliable backup power and save on their daily energy bills.

The Solution
Connect Energy installed a complete solar and battery solution for this Acacia Ridge site, selecting premium equipment suited to the property’s generation profile and daytime load.
System Performance
The system generates 30,000 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use.
Financial Impact
This system significantly reduces the site’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 $6,000.
