Solar Batteries
Batteries are a logical extension of solar power systems and are increasing in popularity at a staggering rate. The main purpose of solar batteries is to store your excess solar power generated through the day time.
SolarEdge Home Battery
Home Storage Solution
The new SolarEdge home battery has been designed to work seamlessly with the award-winning SolarEdge Energy Hub and Genesis range of solar inverters. One of the main benefits of going with a SolarEdge battery storage solution is the ease of only having to deal with one reliable company. All of the components seamlessly work together to create an efficient, powerful and high-tech solar power system.

BYD Premium HVS, HVM and HVL
High & Low Voltage Solar Batteries
BYD “Battery-Box” batteries use Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cell technology which is widely recognised as one of the safest battery chemistries. With a local Australian support office, BYD is reportedly even bigger than Tesla, with around 230,000 employees! The BYD batteries can supply continuous power equal to their nominal storage capacity. That is, the B–Box 10.0 can output 10.24kW of power continuously, until flat. Not many batteries can match that output.
​
BYD offers a few premium batteries for high-voltage situations: The Battery-Box Premium HVS, Premium HVM and the Premium LVL. These models all have pretty much the same features and functions but differ in size – the HVS being the smallest and the LVL being the largest, as seen below.
​
-
PREMIUM HVS: Composed of 2-5 HVS battery modules – Usable capacity of 5.1 to 12.8 kWh
-
PREMIUM HVM: Composed of 3-8 B-Plus HVM 2.71 battery modules – Usable capacity of 8.3 to 22.1 kWh
-
PREMIUM LVL: Suited for larger installations - scalable from 15.4kW to a massive 983kWh
