The Story
This Sherwood property now generates more power than it uses. We hit 105 percent energy independence on this job. The system produces 18,538 kWh every year. That covers the summer aircon and then some.
We installed a 12.35kW solar array paired with a massive 24.2kWh battery. The numbers stack up fast. The payback period sits under four years. We also secured over $8,217.50 in government rebates for the owner.
Energex bills are basically gone. Estimated lifetime savings for this household top $163,182. It is a massive result for a standard Brisbane residential block. Good gear installed properly just works.
The Solution
Connect Energy installed a complete solarand battery solution for this Sherwood home, selecting premium equipment suited to the site’s generation profile.
System Performance
The system generates 18,538 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 105% 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 $8,217.50.
