The Story
This Petrie household will save over $123,880 on power. We installed a massive 45.2kWh battery and 13.3kW of solar. They now generate 176 percent of their energy needs. That is plenty of power for the summer aircon.
The owner was repairing a tiled roof. It was the perfect time to drop the old panels. We took the old gear down so the roofers could paint. Then we came back and fitted the new system. We secured over $9,750 in government rebates for the job.
The whole setup pays for itself in under 6 years. Producing 19,932 kWh a year means zero stress about Energex bills. It is a massive result for a standard residential block.
“The crew did a brilliant job and paid attention to all the little things. They even swapped out a bulky old light fitting that was in the way of the new gear. I highly recommend them.”
The client was repairing and repainting the tiled roof. We removed the old solar system to give the roofers clear access. Once the paint was dry we returned to install the new solar panels. We also fitted the new inverter, the big battery and a backup Gateway.

The Solution
Connect Energy installed a complete solar and battery solution for this Petrie home, selecting premium equipment suited to the site’s generation profile.
System Performance
The system generates 19,932 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 176% 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 $9,750.
