The Story
This Jindalee home now produces 151 percent of its own energy needs. The new system generates 10,991 kWh of power every year. That covers all daily usage with plenty left over.
We installed a 6.65kW solar array and a 16.1kWh battery. The subtropical Brisbane sun charges the battery fast. This keeps the summer aircon running on stored power long after sunset. They avoid peak Energex tariffs completely.
We applied over $5,498 in government rebates upfront. The payback period is under 6 years. Over the lifetime of the system the owners will save more than $76,900.
“The whole team at Connect Energy did an awesome job. Customer service was brilliant and the setup looks great on the roof. Really happy with the result.”
The owner wanted to increase property value and generate his own power. We passed on recent wholesale battery discounts. This allowed us to install a larger storage capacity for the same budget.

The Solution
Connect Energy installed a complete solar and battery solution for this Jindalee home, selecting premium equipment suited to the site’s generation profile.
System Performance
The system generates 10,991 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 151% 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 $5,498.
