The Story
This Sherwood home is now generating 227% of its annual household electricity use. We installed a huge 19.95kW solar system. We paired it with a massive 45.2kWh battery bank. The family will save an estimated $131,345 over the life of the setup.
They have lived here for 15 years. Rising Energex rates and a growing family sent their bills through the roof. Running the summer aircon was getting too expensive. The owner did plenty of research before calling us. He wanted a custom setup with whole home backup.
We secured $11,543.50 in government rebates for the job. The system will generate 29,407 kWh every year. It will pay for itself in under seven years. They are completely sorted for heavy summer energy use.
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 29,407 kWh per year, with the battery storing excess daytime generation for evening and overnight use. This covers 227% 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 $11,543.50.
