Install & configure a home battery (webinar)

Presented by Benn Simpson, solar and battery installer at Green Edge Technologies

Curious about adding a battery system to your home? Join our information session -- led by a qualified electrician and solar & battery installer -- to uncover everything you need to know about powering your home with stored energy.

We'll delve into the costs involved, and discuss the federal government battery rebate, which offers around a 30% discount on upfront costs.

You'll also learn about key considerations for choosing the right battery system for your home and discover potential problems to avoid.

And buying a battery is only the first step. How it's configured makes a significant difference to how much energy you save and how well your battery performs.

In the webinar, we'll also cover the core settings that matter most, including:

• time-of-use optimisation: charging when electricity is cheap, discharging when it is not

• backup reserve settings: how much charge to hold in reserve for outages

• grid export controls: managing what goes back to the grid and when.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain expert insights and make an informed decision about reducing your energy use and electricity bills.

Who is it for?

This session is ideal for homeowners, landlords and business owners looking to install a battery system or get the most from an existing system. It's also ideal for anyone interested in creating a more comfortable, energy-efficient home.
