Feed-in Tariff: Not applicable
Planned Solar Addition: None
Calculation Date: 19 December 2025
HOW WE CALCULATED THIS
Calculation Methodology:
  • Annual grid electricity use = Quarterly use × 4
  • Battery energy output = Size × 365 days × 1 cycle/day × 85% efficiency
  • Savings = (Energy offset by battery × electricity rate) + (Solar generation × electricity rate)
  • ROI = (Annual savings ÷ System cost) × 100%
  • Payback period = System cost ÷ Annual savings
💡 Simple Explanation:
Your battery stores energy when electricity is cheap (or from solar) and releases it when electricity is expensive, reducing your grid consumption and saving you money. Think of it as a piggy bank for your solar energy!

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
DISCLAIMER: This report provides estimates only and is based on the information you have provided. The calculations are illustrative and for informational purposes. Actual savings and returns may vary significantly based on various factors including:

• Your actual energy consumption patterns and behaviors
• Local weather conditions and solar irradiance
• Future changes in electricity rates and feed-in tariffs
• Battery performance degradation over time (typically 0.5-2% per year)
• Maintenance requirements and potential system issues
• Government policy changes and incentive programs
• Installation quality and component performance
• Your specific usage patterns and energy habits

Key Assumptions in This Calculation:
• Battery cycles: 1 full cycle per day
• Battery efficiency: 85% (round-trip)
• Solar generation: Based on Australian average of 4kWh per kW per day
• Electricity rates: Remain constant throughout the year
• No significant changes to energy consumption patterns

This is not financial advice. We recommend:
• Consulting with a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions
• Obtaining multiple quotes from accredited installers
• Considering all available government rebates and incentives
• Reviewing product warranties and performance guarantees
• Conducting a professional energy audit of your property
