The Story
For this Frenches Creek home, the decision to go solar came down to long-term value. With energy prices only heading in one direction, they wanted a system sized to eliminate most of their electricity bill from day one.
Connect Energy delivered a 13.3kW solar system with 48.4kWh of integrated battery storage, designed to maximise self-consumption year round.
The Solution
Connect Energy installed a complete solar and battery solution for this Frenches Creek home, selecting premium equipment suited to the site’s generation profile.
System Performance
The system generates 22,751 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 647% 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 $20,710.
