How it works

Built around how your home uses power

Panels power your home directly during the day, cutting what you draw from the grid. Without a battery there is no backup during an outage, but your daytime savings are maximised for the lowest cost per kW installed.

Included in this type of system

  • Solar panels
  • Grid-tie or hybrid inverter

Why it works

  • Best value per kW: no battery cost
  • Large daytime bill savings
  • Simple, fast install
  • Add a battery later to gain backup

What to consider

  • No backup during load-shedding (no battery)
  • Savings are mostly during daylight hours
