SERVING THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA

Battery storage, done right

Battery storage gives you more control over how and when your home uses energy. A well-designed system can store excess solar during the day, reduce grid reliance at night, make better use of cheap or free electricity periods, and provide backup capability where required.

A battery is a significant investment for your home, so the right advice matters. At Watson Electrical & Solar, we take the time to look at your usage, solar production, tariff options and future plans before recommending a system. We only install battery platforms we trust, using proven brands such as Tesla Powerwall, Sigenergy and GoodWe for performance, reliability and long-term support.

Our approach is simple: educate, guide and design a system that suits your home, not oversell something you don’t need.

How we approach battery storage

01

Energy assessment

We review your electricity usage, solar production, tariff options and goals to understand whether a battery makes sense for your home.

02

System design and quote

We design a battery system around your usage, property and future plans, then provide a clear quote with practical advice on expected performance.

03

Professional installation

Our licensed electricians install and configure your battery system safely, with clean workmanship and careful integration with your solar, switchboard and backup requirements.

04

Testing and support

We test the system, walk you through how it works and provide ongoing support so you can get the best value from your battery over time.

I was most impressed by the service provided by Ben yesterday. He checked my solar system very thoroughly, remedied a small problem and explained the indications that I should be looking for in terms that even a techno-phobe like myself could understand. It was a real pleasure to deal with someone so polite and helpful.

highly recommend Watson Electrical and Solar for solar battery installation. The electrician Ben was professional, knowledgeable and took the time to explain and analyse the design options for the new system. He communicated from start to finish in a respectful and clear manner happily answering any questions or concerns I had with the installation or the system app along the way. Watson Electrical provided a prompt, efficient and an exceptionally clean and tidy installation. It was a seamless process and great value from a highly skilled family business.

Are battery rebates available?

Battery rebates and incentives may be available for eligible battery installations. We check what applies at the time of quoting and handle the application process, paperwork and required documentation for you, so you can understand the true out-of-pocket cost before committing to a system.

The right battery depends on how much energy you use, when you use it, how much solar you export, your electricity tariff and your future plans. We review your bills and usage data before recommending a system, so the battery is sized properly and suited to how your home actually uses power.

In many cases, yes. The best option depends on your existing inverter, switchboard, meter setup, available installation location and whether you want backup power. We can assess your current solar system and recommend the most practical way to add battery storage.

Yes, many modern battery systems can charge from the grid. This can be useful if you are on a tariff with cheap or free electricity periods, allowing the battery to store lower-cost energy for use later.

It depends on the battery system and how it is installed. Some setups are designed to back up essential circuits only, while others can support larger parts of the home. We’ll discuss your backup requirements during the design stage so the system is designed properly from the start.
