About Solar Battery AU

Our Story

Solar Battery AU was founded in 2019 by a group of renewable energy enthusiasts who shared a common frustration: finding reliable, unbiased information about home battery storage systems in Australia was incredibly difficult. As solar panel installations surged across the country, we noticed that homeowners were struggling to navigate the complex world of lithium-ion batteries, inverter compatibility, and energy management systems. We knew there had to be a better way.

Our founding team includes former solar installers, electrical engineers, and energy consultants who have spent years working in the Australian renewable energy sector. We've climbed onto countless rooftops to assess solar panel orientations, configured hybrid inverter systems for optimal self-consumption, and helped families understand their electricity bills down to the last kilowatt-hour. This hands-on experience gives us a unique perspective that purely desk-based reviewers simply cannot match.

Our Mission

We believe every Australian household deserves access to clear, accurate information about solar battery technology. Our mission is to cut through the marketing jargon and provide honest, practical advice that helps you make confident decisions about your energy future. We're not here to push products—we're here to educate, inform, and empower.

When we evaluate a battery system, we consider real-world factors that matter to Australian families: How does it perform during those scorching 40°C summer days when your air conditioning is working overtime? What happens during a blackout—will it seamlessly switch to backup power, or will your fridge full of groceries spoil? Can it handle the unique challenges of Australian grid conditions, including voltage fluctuations in rural areas? These are the questions we ask because we know they're the questions you need answered.

What Sets Us Apart

Unlike generic tech review sites, we focus exclusively on the Australian market. We understand the differences between state rebate programs—from Victoria's Solar Homes Program to South Australia's Home Battery Scheme. We know that a battery system that works brilliantly in Melbourne's mild climate might face challenges in Darwin's tropical humidity or Perth's extreme heat. We factor in local electricity tariff structures, including time-of-use rates, feed-in tariffs, and demand charges, because these details dramatically affect your return on investment.

Our team regularly attends industry events, maintains relationships with major manufacturers, and keeps our fingers on the pulse of emerging technologies like sodium-ion batteries and vehicle-to-home (V2H) systems. We're genuinely passionate about the potential for distributed energy storage to transform Australia's electricity grid and reduce our collective carbon footprint.

Our Commitment to You

Transparency is at the heart of everything we do. Yes, we earn commissions when you purchase products through our affiliate links—this is how we keep the lights on and continue producing free educational content. However, our recommendations are never influenced by commission rates. We recommend the same products to our readers that we'd recommend to our own family members. If a product doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't make it onto our site, regardless of how lucrative the affiliate partnership might be.

We're constantly updating our content to reflect the latest product releases, price changes, and technology developments. The solar battery industry moves fast, and we're committed to ensuring our information remains current and accurate. If you ever spot an error or have a question we haven't addressed, we genuinely want to hear from you. This resource exists for you, and your feedback makes it better for everyone.
