The Story
This Bardon property now generates almost all its own power. We installed a new 8.075kW solar setup and an 18.1kWh battery. The numbers speak for themselves. The system will save them over $113,515 during its lifetime. They will pay it off in under four years.
Summer aircon bills used to hit hard. Now they generate 11,793 kWh a year from the Queensland sun. We secured over $6,225 in government rebates to bring the upfront cost down. The design fits perfectly around their upcoming home renovations.
Good design means avoiding headaches later. We mapped the roof space carefully. Now they have a massive battery reserve for the evenings. They hardly draw anything from the Energex network anymore.
“The neighbourhood group chat recommended Connect Energy and I am so glad I listened. The crew did an awesome job and made the whole process easy. Really happy with the outcome and the new setup.”
We designed this 8.075kW array and 18.1kWh battery specifically for the available roof space. The owners have renovations planned soon. We mapped the panel locations carefully to avoid any conflicts with their upcoming building work. Proper sizing ensures they meet their high energy needs.

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 11,793 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 98% 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 $6,225.
