Con has some simple advice for homeowners thinking of installing a battery-solar system: “Don’t hesitate; go for it.”

Ever since the Currency Creek landowner had his solar system and battery operating he’s just sat back and watched the savings accumulate.

“There are no power bills to pay and I’m continually in credit,” he says.

Con contacted Sharpe Energy-Hub for advice when he saw some marketing about battery systems.

“I phoned up for a chat and got a clear explanation about what was involved and how it would work for me,” he says.

There are several subsidy options available to property owners installing a solar-battery combination. Sharpe Energy-Hub analysed Con’s power usage and the numbers added up for solar and battery.

Government subsidies brought a nine-year payback period to less than five.

“It was not a big decision to make but never having had solar before I certainly jumped into the deep end by getting both at once,” says Con.

Sharpe Energy-Hub has a range of systems for homeowners and renovators looking to match the best solar-battery combination to their specific needs.

All Sharpe Energy-Hub systems are proven performance products with the industry’s longest guarantees.

They are installed and serviced by Sharpe’s own technicians, not subcontractors, to give peace of mind regarding warranties and guarantees.

This is backed by the experience of 39 years in business.

New-generation batteries are at the forefront of the solar revolution.

Rising power prices plus the inevitable phasing out of previously generous solar feed-in tariffs are making the option of upgrading to a battery a good long-term financial decision.

“I was a great return on investment,” says Con. “We do get some blackouts here at Currency Creek but I wanted the solar and battery together to save money.”

“I recommend it to anyone.”
