Is a Solar Battery Right for Your Home?
When it comes to reducing energy bills and gaining more control over your electricity use, solar batteries are becoming a smart choice for households across Melbourne and Victoria. At SOMS Energy, we specialise in the expert installation of solar battery systems, helping homeowners store excess solar energy and use it when they need it most.
But is a solar battery really the right option for your home? Let’s break it down.
1. Evening Power Use
Most homes use the bulk of their energy during the evening when the sun isn’t shining. A solar battery allows you to store energy generated during the day and use it at night, helping you reduce reliance on expensive grid power.
2. Backup Power for Peace of Mind
Power outages can be disruptive, especially during extreme weather conditions. With a battery system installed by SOMS Energy, you’ll have access to reliable backup power, keeping essential appliances and devices running.
3. Eco-Friendly Energy Choice
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, a solar battery makes perfect sense. By storing and using clean energy, you’re helping to cut down on fossil fuel reliance and support a more sustainable future for Victoria.
4. Government Rebates & Savings
