The Story
After comparing multiple quotes, this Bardon family chose Connect Energy for their solar and battery installation. The priority was a system that would deliver real savings without cutting corners on equipment quality.
The result: a 16.625kW solar system paired with 24.2kWh of Sigenergy battery storage.
“I went through 15 quotes before choosing Connect Energy for a 16.63 kW solar system and 24.18 kW battery install because they stood out for all the right reasons for me. I’d definitely recommend people do their research.
From the first contact, everything was clear and professional without being pushy. I ask a lot of questions and Brett was very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. The quoting and site visit process was smooth, and he explained things in a way that made sense to me. Product ordering and delivery didn’t take very long. They handled all the important paperwork with the power company. On install day, the crew turned up on time, were friendly and respectful, and took real care to make sure the system looked good and flowed with the aesthetics of the house. The quality of their work was top notch.There were a couple of minor changes needed once they got on site, but they talked me through it clearly before doing anything, which I really appreciated.
The paperwork, invoicing, and handover were all handled really well, and the follow-up support has been great too.In the end, what they quoted is what I got and paid for: No hidden fees, surprise costs, or swapping of equipment or brands.
Connect Energy delivered exactly what they promised. Highly recommended.”
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 22,674 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 189% 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 $5,069.
