☀️ Solar Panels & Home Battery Systems Supporting Independent Living
Recently, we installed an 8.16kW Jinko Solar System paired with a 33.2kWh GoodWe Australia and New Zealand ESA All-in-One Battery Storage System for a senior gentleman who is living independently at home. He opted to use his enclosed rear carport for the installation, panels up top & battery inside.
For this customer, the system is about much more than solar savings - it’s about independence, security and peace of mind for both him and his family.
⚡ Backup Power When It Matters
With selected essential circuits connected to the battery backup, customers can choose what matters most to them during a power outage.
Depending on individual needs, essential loads can include:
• Medical devices – such as CPAP machines
• Assistance equipment – such as chair lifts or other mobility equipment
• Fridge & freezer – helping protect perishable food and temperature-sensitive medications such as insulin
• Lighting – keeping the home safely lit
• Selected power points – allowing phones and other important devices to be charged
• Plug-in heaters & heated blankets – helping maintain comfort during colder weather
Essential backup circuits can be customised to suit each customer's individual requirements.
📱 Peace of Mind for the Whole Family
This customer's family members can monitor the system remotely through the app on their phones, giving them added reassurance even when they aren't nearby. If the power goes out, they can have confidence that their loved one has access to the essential power they've chosen to keep running.
☀️ Make the Most of Solar
Solar panels generate electricity during the day, while household energy use often increases later in the afternoon and evening.
A home battery allows excess solar energy generated during the day to be stored and used later, helping customers use more of their own solar energy and reduce their reliance on the grid.
🏠 More Than Energy Savings
For someone living independently, having solar and battery backup can provide an extra layer of comfort, resilience and confidence at home - particularly during storms, outages and unexpected power interruptions.
