Newcastle Solar Batteries
Ever wonder what happens to all the solar energy your panels generate during the day when you’re not home to use it? Without a battery, most of that power goes straight back to the grid, often for just a fraction of what you pay to buy it back later. That’s where solar batteries can make a real difference. At Spot On Solar International, based near Newcastle, we install battery-ready solar systems and upgrade existing ones with high-performance storage solutions.
Whether you want backup during a blackout, to power your home at night using stored solar, or simply get more from your existing setup, we’ll help you find a battery that fits your goals. We work with trusted brands and provide systems that are designed to perform reliably and safely for years to come. Our team takes care of everything—from advising on size and type to installation and system integration—so you get a seamless solution without the stress.
If you’re ready to make the most of your solar system and keep more of the energy you generate, give us a call on (02) 4954 6768 to get started.
Get More from Your Solar Setup
Adding a solar battery to your system gives you more independence, better savings, and peace of mind—especially in Newcastle, where energy prices keep rising and outages can be a concern. A well-sized battery lets you store solar power generated during the day and use it when it’s most valuable—at night, during peak rate times, or when the grid goes down. When you work with us, we’ll look at your daily power usage, existing solar setup, and budget to recommend a battery solution that works for your home or business. We’ll also talk you through key features like storage capacity, cycle life, and smart energy management, so you can make an informed choice.
Our installations include full system monitoring, so you can track how much energy you’re using, saving, and storing—all from your phone. Every battery we install is built for Australian conditions and comes with strong manufacturer warranties. We also help you explore current rebates and finance options to reduce upfront costs. Whether you’re upgrading an older system or starting from scratch, we’ll make sure your battery is safely installed, set up correctly, and ready to deliver results from day one.
Are solar batteries worth it in Australia?
Yes, solar batteries are increasingly worth it—especially in areas with high electricity prices or regular power outages. They allow homeowners to store excess solar energy produced during the day and use it when the sun goes down, which reduces reliance on the grid and increases your savings. In regions like NSW, where time-of-use tariffs can lead to higher evening rates, having a battery helps avoid peak charges. While upfront costs can be significant, rebates and falling battery prices are making them more affordable over time.
How long do solar batteries last?
Most solar batteries last between 10 to 15 years, depending on the brand, usage patterns, and maintenance. Lithium-ion batteries—currently the most common type—often come with warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years. The battery's lifespan can also be measured in charge/discharge cycles (typically around 5,000 to 10,000 cycles). Choosing a high-quality battery and ensuring it’s correctly sized for your energy usage will help maximise its lifespan and performance.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Yes, in most cases, a battery can be added to an existing solar system. Depending on your current setup, you might need to upgrade your inverter or add a battery-specific inverter to support the installation. Hybrid inverters (designed to support both panels and batteries) can simplify the process, but even with standard inverters, retrofit options are available. An installer can assess your current system and recommend the best approach for adding storage.
