BATTERY CHECK
WHAT EVERY BATTERY INSTALLATION INVOLVES
Every home is different. Here is what we look at before we quote and what happens on the day.
01
YOUR SWITCHBOARD
We check your switchboard before every installation, age, protective devices, capacity for the battery inverter load, and whether asbestos is present. Anything needing attention is included in the fixed quote.
02
YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM
We confirm your inverter brand and solar output. This determines which battery integrates cleanly and whether a hybrid inverter is needed — all confirmed at the quoting stage.
03
YOUR USAGE
We look at your daily consumption and grid export to size the battery correctly. A battery sized to your actual usage performs better and earns back its cost sooner.
04
YOUR QUOTE
Fixed price, fully itemised. The federal rebate is applied at this stage — you see the actual out-of-pocket cost before you decide.

SWITCHBOARD CHECK
WE CHECK THE SWITCHBOARD ON EVERY JOB
Our Switch Board inspection site visit ensures a smooth battery installation

Your Priorities and budget
If anything needs attention, we tell you before the job starts and include any required work in the quote. Most Northern Beaches homes are in good shape. For older homes in Manly, Seaforth, Mosman or Balgowlah, a switchboard assessment is especially worth doing before any major electrical addition.
RECENT BATTERY INSTALLATIONS
REAL JOBS
NORTHERN BEACHES HOMES
Curl Curl Tesla PW3 addition to PW2 40.5kWh
Collaroy 40kWh battery upgrade
Cromer 10kW solar + 20kWh Sungrow Battery
This Curl Curl homeowner had an existing Tesla Powerwall 2 and wanted more capacity. We added a Powerwall 3 alongside it, taking total storage to 40.5kWh. The gateway was upgraded to three-phase to accommodate the expanded system. The result is a home that runs almost entirely on stored solar through the evening and holds substantial backup capacity for outages.
Curl Curl, NSW Tesla PW3 Addition to PW2
A Cromer homeowner came to us wanting energy independence and backup power for the whole house. We installed a 10kW solar system paired with a 20kWh battery — enough to cover the household overnight and run through a grid outage. The switchboard was assessed and upgraded as part of the same job. One fixed price, one installation day.

WHICH BATTERY SUITS YOUR HOME
WE INSTALL ACROSS THREE BRANDS
Here is a guide to each Battery System we install and which setup it suits.
TESLA POWERWALL 3
The benchmark for whole-home battery storage. 13.5kWh usable capacity, whole-home backup capable, and solar, battery and backup power in a single unit. The cleanest system available for a new solar and battery install. We are Tesla Powerwall Certified Installers.
SUNGROW SBH
Efficient and reliable home charging from Sungrow. A natural pairing for homes already running a Sungrow solar or battery system.
ENPHASE IQ BATTERY 5P
The right choice for homes already running Enphase microinverters. Integrates directly with your existing Enphase system and is managed through the same app. Modular — start with one 5kWh unit and add more as needed. We are Enphase Platinum Installers.

COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQs
How much does a home battery cost on the Northern Beaches?
Installed battery systems typically range from $8,500 to $16,000, depending on battery brand, usable capacity, and whether a hybrid inverter is needed. For homes eligible for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program, approximately $4,000 comes off the installed price at point of sale. We include the rebate in your quote so you see the actual out-of-pocket cost upfront.
Am I eligible for the federal battery rebate?
To be eligible your home must have an existing solar system (or be installing one at the same time), the battery must be at least 10kWh, and it must be installed by a registered installer. Energy Culture is registered. We confirm your eligibility at the quoting stage — you do not need to do anything separately.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In most cases, yes. If your current solar inverter is compatible with the battery you choose, the retrofit is straightforward. Enphase, Fronius, SMA and Sungrow inverters are all commonly retrofitted with battery storage. Older or incompatible inverters may require a hybrid inverter replacement, which we include in the quoted price.
How much backup power will I get from a battery?
It depends on battery capacity and your household load. A 13.5kWh battery running a typical Northern Beaches home at average evening consumption will provide 10 to 16 hours of backup. Running air conditioning, an oven or an EV charger during an outage reduces that significantly. We model your backup capacity at the quoting stage using your actual usage data.
How long does the installation take?
Most battery installations take six to eight hours. If a switchboard upgrade is required, add two to three hours. We confirm the expected time in your quote.
Which battery brand should I choose?
For homes already running Enphase solar, the Enphase IQ Battery 5P is the natural fit. For homes wanting the most capable whole-home backup, the Sungrow SBH integrates cleanestis. For existing and upgarding solar system Tesla PW3 isthe benchmark.
We recommend the right unit for your setup at the quoting stage.
Is a compliance certificate included?
Yes. A compliance certificate is issued for every battery installation. It documents that the work was completed by a licensed electrician and meets NSW regulatory requirements.
