- Solar Batteries and Energy Storage From Electrical Sensations
Solar batteries enable energy to be stored and used at night time to get the most benefit from your investment in your solar power system. Solar Batteries Solar batteries are a logical extension of solar power systems and are becoming more popular thanks to the Cheaper Home Batteries Program - the "Battery Grant" The main purpose of solar batteries is to store your excess solar power generated through the day time so that it can be used while the sun isn’t shining, in times of inclement weather or when power is charged at premium rates (Time-of-Use tariff customers). That means you are less dependent on grid power, more energy self–sufficient and pay less money to your electricity retailer. Some batteries can also provide ‘blackout protection’, which can be a big advantage for many households in areas where the grid reliability is not fantastic. Be aware that not all batteries can provide power in a blackout, so if that's something that's important to you, be sure and mention it to the battery system designer. At Electrical Sensations, our Solar Accreditation Australia SAA (previously Clean Energy Council) accredited designers have done the hard yards of researching and comparing the multitude of solar products available. We're totally confident in the performance, reliability and longevity of every product we recommend and will only install products we would be happy to have on our property. When you're investing in a solar power or battery storage system, you need the system to perform well for you, for as long as possible, without giving you any headaches. There are literally hundreds of different solar products on the market and it can be really hard to distinguish between them all. With solar power systems, the old adage “You get what you pay for” rings very true. We apply the following criteria when choosing which products to recommend to our customers: How financially stable is the manufacturer (looking at factors including their Altmann Z Score)? What is the general ‘reputation’ of the product from industry and consumer reports? Do they have an Australian office to handle any potential future warranty issues? What is the warranty claim/failure rate? Not only, what is the length of the warranty, but also how difficult and onerous is the warranty process? The devil can be in the detail of the warranty Terms and Conditions. Would I be confident and happy to have this product on my home? Solar Battery Brands We Install SigEnergy's SigenStor solar batteries deliver modular, safe energy storage that works with any solar system - new or existing. SigEnergy batteries are known for their exceptional safety and flexibility.

The balance of quality, safety, and value is why we install them. SUNGROW The sonnenBatterie can be easily connected to any solar power system – new or existing. They are a beautifully simple add-on to help homeowners maximise the utilization of their solar power production. SONNEN RedEarth is an Australian-owned and operated solar battery manufacturer. Operating since 2013, RedEarth has nearly 10 years of experience in manufacturing a range of different on-grid and off-grid batteries. REDEARTH Learn more about the batteries we install Things to Consider. Not all batteries can provide power in a black–out. If that's something that is important to you, it is imperative to make that known to your designer from the outset. It's important to understand that there's a difference between the ‘nominal capacity’ and ‘usable capacity’ of a battery. Most batteries keep some energy in a kind of ‘reserve’ to avoid being damaged. The usable capacity is the number that matters and is typically around 90% of the nominal capacity. Be aware that every battery has a limit to the amount of power it can output at any one time. So, if you plan to use your air-con, oven, microwave, clothes drier (for example) at the same time, your battery will very likely not keep up and you'll be buying the excess from the grid. Staggering high usage electrical items gives you the most efficient use of your batteries. Having a battery doesn’t mean you are off–grid. The vast majority of solar and battery systems will maintain a grid connection and are called "hybrid" systems. With hybrid systems, the grid/network provides you with the power you need to get through periods of bad weather or increased consumption. Totally off–grid systems are typically in remote locations where getting power to the block is not possible, practical or economically viable.

Solar System Upgrades Looking to get a bit more production from your solar power system? Upgrading your solar power system can be a great idea to get the most out of your investment. When upgrading, its important to consider how much roof space you have, if you want to keep your current feed-in-tariff and how old the original system is. Inverter Replacements Electrical Sensations specialises in inverter repairs/replacements and can help you get back on the grid, whether you’re an existing customer or not. If your solar installer has left you in the dark, you can rely on Electrical Sensations to assess your situation and get your inverter repaired or replaced quickly and safely. Solar Panel Cleaning Solar power systems are low maintenance, there isn't a lot of upkeep required. We do however recommend regular cleaning of your panels to keep them performing at their best. Over time dirt, debris and dust can build up, creating a barrier that prevents the sun from reaching the solar panels. As a rule of thumb, once every 6-12 months is usually enough. Things to Consider. About the Manufacturer How long has the manufacturer been in existence and producing that particular product? How financially stable is the manufacturer? Do they have an Australian office to handle any potential future warranty issues? What is the manufacturer’s product warranty? This is very different to, and much more important than the output performance warranty. What is the warranty claim/failure rate? Is the factory automated? Panels produced in fully automated factories are typically higher quality and more reliable. About the Panel Itself What is the physical size and wattage of the panel? With roof space becoming a valuable commodity, lower wattage panels are an inefficient use of space and can make upgrading or expanding the system in the future difficult. Generally, panels below 440W are outdated and "old school". What is the temperature coefficient of the panel? This is an indicator of how it performs in hot weather. The lower the percentage per degree Celsius, the better. Do the panels have "dual glass"? Dual glass construction greatly minimises the change of water ingress and improves longevity of the panel.

Electrical Sensation is a Toowoomba based, family-owned electrical contracting business specialising in providing high-quality battery storage systems. Battery Services Experts in designing, installing and maintaining solar battery systems in Toowoomba. Store More, Save More with batteries Make the most of your solar investment with a battery storage solution that saves you more money, reduces your reliance on the energy companies and gives you power when it matters. Whether you’re looking to install a solar battery, upgrade an older one, or make sure your current system keeps running smoothly, our services are designed to give you better control over your energy—and your electricity bills. Maximise What You Get from Your Solar System Adding a solar battery means you don’t have to waste the energy your panels generate. Instead, you can store that power for later—at night, during blackouts, or when electricity prices spike (if you're on a Time Of Use tariff). With a battery installed, you can: Use more of your own power instead of buying it from the grid Lower your electricity bills and protect against rising prices Keep essentials running during outages, including lights, fridges, and the internet Increase your home or business’s energy independence and enhance your Certainty Of Supply We’ll help you choose the right battery, figure out how much storage you need for now and into the future, and make sure everything works seamlessly with your current solar setup. How do solar batteries actually work? *The picture above shows a simplified, grid-connected system. Some setups (like the Sigenergy SigenStor) combine the solar and battery inverter into one neat unit, but they work in a very similar way. Time to Upgrade? Get More from Modern Technology If your current battery isn’t keeping up with your energy needs—or it's starting to show its age—we can help you decide whether it’s time for an upgrade. Upgrading can: Give you more storage for bigger savings Improve system performance and efficiency Unlock new features like app monitoring and faster charging Make your system compatible with the latest solar tech We’ll assess your current system, talk through your goals, and recommend the best options—without the jargon or pressure. Keep Your System Running Smoothly with Regular Maintenance Solar batteries don’t need a lot of maintenance—but a little attention can prevent costly problems down the line. Routine servicing/checking helps: Extend your battery’s lifespan Avoid unexpected breakdowns Keep your system safe and efficient Protect your warranty and investment We’ll give your battery a check-up, make any needed adjustments, and flag anything worth watching—so you can relax knowing everything’s working as it should. Fix It When Things Go Wrong Noticed something not quite right? Whether it's strange alerts, reduced storage, or unexpected shut-downs, we’ll help figure out what’s going on. We’ll explain what’s happening in clear language and talk through your options so you can make informed choices—without surprises.

Ready to Take Control of Your Energy? Whether you're looking to install a new battery, upgrade your system, or just want to feel confident your setup is working as it should, we're here to help. Talk to us today for an assessment, honest advice, or just to learn more about what’s possible for your home or business. Residential Battery Installation Our team of licensed electricians and battery designers/installers (NOT unqualified salespeople) will create a battery storage system to suit your situation. Electrical Sensations prides itself on installing high-end battery products, with top workmanship and good old fashion customer service. Battery Replacements Replacing an old or worn-out battery can make a big difference to how well your solar system works. Over time, batteries lose their ability to hold and deliver power efficiently. Replacing batteries helps you get more from your solar energy, save on your electricity bills, and keep your system running reliably for years to come. Commercial Battery Systems Battery storage helps businesses cut electricity costs by storing excess solar energy for use during peak times or overnight. By reducing reliance on the grid and avoiding high demand charges, batteries improve energy efficiency, lower overheads and boost profitability over the long term. Battery System Maintenance Regular battery maintenance is key to keeping your solar system running smoothly and efficiently. Checking performance, cleaning connections, and updating software can help catch small issues before they become big problems. Staying on top of maintenance means your battery lasts longer, works better, and continues saving you money over time. Battery System Upgrades Got a battery storage system that just isn't keeping up anymore? Newer batteries are more efficient, hold more energy and work smarter than old battery setups. Upgrading your battery storage can cut power costs even more and improve the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of your system. Battery Grant Information Electrical Sensations is proudly qualified, licensed and accredited to design and install battery storage systems that are eligible for the Cheaper Home Batteries Program "Battery Grant". The Battery Grant saves you about 30% on the cost of installing a battery. Find more details about the Battery Grant in our News section . Things to Consider when thinking batteries. About Batteries in general Do I have enough surplus solar power to charge the battery? Do you have somewhere the battery can installed? There are many (MANY!) rules regarding the positioning of a battery. Do you want the battery to give you power in a blackout situation? Do you know roughly how much power you use at night time? About the Battery Manufacturer How financially stable is the manufacturer? Do they have an Australian office to handle any potential future warranty issues? What is the manufacturer’s product warranty? Is it easy to understand or ridiculously difficult? What is the warranty claim/failure rate? About the Battery Itself What is the physical size and storage capacity of the battery? Can it be upgraded easily? Is it modular or stackable? Can it provide me power in a blackout situation? Can the battery inverter keep the panels producing power in a blackout on a sunny day? How many "boxes" are there to the battery system? Is it all in one cabinet or are there separate components required? What is it's usable capacity of the battery - i.e how much power will the battery give me to use? This is usually different to the kW size of the battery.

- Solar Inverters | Electrical Sensations Toowoomba
Looking for quality solar inverters to start up your solar power system? Let us provide you the core to power your home or businesses. At Electrical Sensations, our Clean Energy Council accredited designers have done the hard yards of researching and comparing the multitude of solar products available. We're totally confident in the performance, reliability and longevity of every product we choose to install. When you're investing in a solar power or battery system, you need the system to perform well for you, for as long as possible, without giving you any headaches. There are literally hundreds of different solar products on the market and it can be really hard to distinguish between them all. With solar power systems, the old adage “You get what you pay for” rings very true. We apply the following criteria when choosing which products to recommend to our customers: How long has the manufacturer been in existence and producing that particular product? How financially stable is the manufacturer? What is the general ‘reputation’ of the product from industry and consumer reports? Do they have an Australian office to handle any potential future warranty issues? What is the warranty claim/failure rate? Not only, what is the length of the warranty, but also how difficult and onerous is the warranty process? The devil can be in the detail of the warranty Terms and Conditions. Would I be confident and happy to have this product installed on my home? Solar Inverters The inverter is the heart of a solar power system. It converts the DC output of the solar panel to AC power that is used by your home appliances. With a sub–standard solar inverter, your solar power system is at best, under–performing and at worst, an expensive white elephant on your roof. Choosing an inverter is an important decision and one that warrants significant research and investigation. There are many different brands of solar inverters and the variance in terms of quality, performance and longevity is huge! The most common inverter sizes are 5kW and 10kW for single-phase and 5kW, 10kW, 15kW and 30kW in three-phase options. Most commercial solar installations are 3-phase starting at 10kW. There are three types of solar inverters/configurations; String Inverters, Microinverters and Power Optimisers. 1 STRING INVERTERS String inverters, like SMA and Fronius, are the most commonly installed inverter in Australian. Their job is to convert the DC power to AC. String inverters are usually located in a central location – commonly beside the switchboard or in the garage. There is typically only one central inverter per system. 2 POWER OPTIMISERS An optimised system consists of a small Power Optimiser mounted under each panel similar to a microinverter, plus a central inverter in a similar place to where DC string inverter would be located. SolarEdge Power Optimiser systems are well suited to installations that have shade issues or that require panels to be installed facing more than 2 directions . 3 MICRO-INVERTERS Enphase micro-inverters are used for more complex installations where there may be partial shading or panels tilted at various angles and/or panels facing multiple directions. An individual micro-inverter is installed under each solar panel, meaning that the number of panels = the number of micro-inverters needed. Solar Inverter Brands Known for its German engineering and design, SMA is renowned for producing reliable, compact, high performing solar inverters for the past 40+ years. Electrical Sensations is a proud SMA PowerUp Partner. SMA Read More Established in 1945, Fronius is an Austrian solar inverter manufacturer. Fronius inverters are globally recognised as amongst the industry’s highest-performing inverters. FRONIUS Read More Known for their long warranties, safety features and monitoring advantages, SolarEdge is a trusted brand that we recommend for our customers with more complex installations. SOLAREDGE Read More Enphase was founded in 2006 and manufactured the world’s first microinverter system in 2008. Since then, Enphase has grown exponentially and is widely considered the global leader in microinverter technology. ENPHASE Read More The Australian owned, designed and manufactured Selectronic inverters are regarded in the solar industry as the leading inverter for off-grid (stand-alone) solar and battery applications. SELECTRONIC Read More Things to Consider. What warranty is provided with the inverter and can it be extended? Does the manufacturer have a reliable service network in Australia and/or allow the installer to carry out minor repairs? Is there an Australian office and how many people are in that office? Is it just a token office with a salesperson? Can you connect remotely to the inverter to see what power is being produced (online monitoring) or does it cost any extra to have that capability? Do you have reliable WiFi connectivity for remote online monitoring of your system? Do you want to be able to monitor your electricity consumption as well as solar production? Most inverters allow remote production monitoring but consumption monitoring usually requires a separate inverter Smart Energy Meter.
- Off Grid Solar Systems Toowoomba | Electrical Sensations Toowoomba
Electrical Sensations install Off Grid Solar Systems in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs region. Off Grid Solar Systems Reliability is paramount in off-grid solar power systems. Choosing quality components is important in all solar power system systems, but it is absolutely critical in off-grid systems. If you are in a remote area or where the cost of having power connected to your property is exorbitant, off-grid (stand-alone) solar power systems with batteries and generator backup are the solution. Off-grid solar power systems supply electricity to properties that are not connected to the electricity network/grid. These systems are also referred to as “Remote Area Power Systems” (RAPS) or “Stand-Alone Power Systems” (SAPS). Off-grid solar power systems are independent mini-power stations that create dependable and reliable electricity that is no different to that supplied by the national electricity grid. Whether it is for a small or large home, farm or weekender; an off-grid solar power system will generate reliable, clean and hassle-free electricity. Components of an Off Grid System Solar Panels – the panels absorb sunlight and convert it to direct current (DC) electricity. Inverters – Off-grid systems require two inverters: a battery inverter (eg Selectronic) and a solar inverter (eg Fronius). Battery – Stores energy for use when solar power is not producing, such as at night time or inclement weather. Generator – emergency back-up power supply. If you're considering going off-grid, give us a call to discuss options to suit your property. With off-grid solar systems there isn't a "one-size-fits-all" solution.
