The Story
This Mount Ommaney property now generates 133% of the energy it needs. We ripped out an old system and installed 11.4kW of fresh solar. We paired it with a massive 24.2kWh battery setup.
The owners bought the place six months ago. They are doing a lot of property upgrades. Getting their Energex bills sorted was a top priority. Summer aircon bills are brutal in Brisbane. Now they make 17,245 kWh of power every single year.
They claimed over $7,951.50 in government rebates upfront. The system pays for itself in under six years. Over the lifespan of the gear they are looking at $78,508 in total savings. That is serious money staying in their pocket.
“I was not even home when the boys finished the job. Really happy with the new solar and batteries. Sent Brett a message straight away to say thanks.”
The client bought this house six months ago and started renovating. He asked us to strip out an old solar setup. We upgraded the roof with a modern system and added heavy battery storage. Mount Ommaney is just up the road from our Darra office. We always enjoy looking after locals in our own backyard.
