Mount Martha solar and battery: how this familyās power bill went from $302 to $148 š§”
Same house. Same family. No gas line, no peak rate, and the next bill is tracking under $100.
Hereās the part most Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula homeowners never get told. You export your solar to the grid for around 3c and buy it back at around 30c. That maths is broken. So we flip it: a 24kWh Sigenergy battery quietly fills from the sun and cheap off-peak power, then runs the whole house right through the expensive peak hours. The ownerās own dashboard tells the story better than we can, battery sitting at 99.9% with free power flowing at midday.
32 Jinko panels, three Sigenergy batteries, a 10kW hybrid inverter and a full switchboard upgrade, all installed in a single day. Even the independent electrical inspector went out of his way to compliment the work.
If youāre weighing up solar panels, home battery storage, or full gas-to-electric home electrification anywhere across Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, Mount Martha, Mornington or Mount Eliza, this is what energy freedom actually looks like. Heating, hot water and cooking, all running off the roof.
A warm house and a bill you donāt dread. Thatās the whole point.
