The Story
This Gaythorne household now produces 306% of their own energy. We installed a huge 13.16kW solar array. We paired it with a massive 32.2kWh battery system. Summer aircon bills are no longer a problem.
The subtropical Brisbane sun generates an estimated 19,624 kWh a year for this property. That easily covers daily usage and fills the batteries. The owners reached out after a mate recommended us. They wanted top tier gear and a neat finish.
Government rebates saved them over $9,232.50 upfront. The system pays for itself in under ten years. They can expect lifetime savings above $94,193. That is how you handle Energex tariffs properly.

Connect Energy installed a complete solarand battery solution for this Gaythorne home, selecting premium equipment suited to the site’s generation profile.
System Performance
The system generates 19,624 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 306% 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 $9,232.50.
