HOME BATTERY STORAGE
Battery Storage for Adelaide Homes
A home battery allows you to store excess electricity generated by your solar panels instead of immediately exporting it to the grid, giving you greater control over how and when you use your solar energy.
Adelaide West offers iStore battery storage in 5kWh, 10kWh and 15kWh options, allowing your system to be designed around your household energy use, solar generation and future energy needs.
Combined with rooftop solar and a compatible hybrid inverter, battery storage can form part of a connected home energy system that helps you make greater use of the electricity generated at your own home.
Why Choose an iStore Home Battery?
Battery storage can help you make greater use of your rooftop solar generation, giving you more control over when your energy is used and reducing the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid.

How Does Solar Battery Storage Work?
A home battery works alongside your solar panels and compatible inverter to store excess electricity generated during the day, making more of your solar energy available when you need it.
01
Generate
Your solar panels capture energy from sunlight and generate electricity during daylight hours
02
Use
Solar electricity is available for use while your panels are generating energy
03
Store
Excess solar generation can be directed to your battery rather than being exported to the grid
04
Power
Stored energy can be made available later when solar generation is lower
Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Inverters
What does a home battery do?
A home battery stores electricity so it can be used at a later time. When paired with rooftop solar, excess solar generation can be stored rather than immediately exported to the grid, allowing more of the electricity you generate to be used within your home.
What size home battery do I need?
The right battery capacity depends on factors including your household electricity consumption, solar system size, when you use energy and what you want your battery to achieve. Adelaide West offers 5kWh, 10kWh and 15kWh iStore battery options to suit different household energy requirements.
What's the difference between a 5kWh, 10kWh and 15kWh battery?
The main difference is the amount of energy each battery can store. A household with relatively modest storage requirements may be suited to a 5kWh battery, while homes with greater electricity consumption may benefit from 10kWh or 15kWh of storage. The appropriate capacity should be selected as part of the overall design of your solar and battery system.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In many cases, yes. Battery storage can often be added to an existing solar installation, although compatibility will depend on your current solar system, inverter and electrical setup. Your existing system should be assessed before selecting a battery and determining the most appropriate installation approach.
Can I install solar panels now and add a battery later?
Yes, a solar system can be designed with future battery storage in mind. Choosing a compatible hybrid inverter when your solar system is installed can make it easier to integrate battery storage later. This can be a useful option if you want to install solar now but aren’t ready to add battery storage immediately.
Will a home battery reduce my electricity bills?
Battery storage can help you use more of the electricity generated by your solar system rather than purchasing electricity from the grid at other times. The actual savings will vary depending on your solar generation, household electricity consumption, when you use energy, electricity tariffs and the size and configuration of your system.
Can a home battery power my house during a blackout?
The ability to supply power during a grid outage depends on the design of the battery and inverter system and whether the required backup equipment has been installed. If blackout backup is important to you, it should be considered when your solar and battery system is being designed.
