9.69 kW Solar and 50 kWh Battery Installation in Dianella

A Complete Energy Upgrade with Backup Capability

This Dianella property received a combined solar and battery package designed to deliver strong daytime generation and substantial overnight storage. The system includes 9.69 kW of solar panels paired with 50 kWh of battery capacity, all managed through a smart meter to ensure smooth operation, efficient energy flow, and reliable backup during outages.

System Components

• 9.69 kW rooftop solar array
• 50 kWh Alpha ESS battery system
• Integrated battery inverter
• Smart meter for monitoring and load control
• Blackout protection on essential home circuits

Installation Layout and Design Approach

The battery units were installed along an internal garage wall, evenly spaced and mounted with room for airflow, maintenance access, and compliance with current safety requirements. Conduit runs were kept tight and neatly aligned to maintain a clean and organised finish.

On the roof, the solar array was installed across the available north-facing and west-facing surfaces to capture strong generation throughout the day. Panels were secured to the roof using non-invasive brackets that protect the roofing material and ensure long-term stability.

The system’s smart meter provides precise control over energy usage, allowing the home to prioritise solar and battery power during peak periods, manage export behaviour, and maintain a seamless switchover in the event of a grid outage.

Key Advantages for the Homeowner

• Steady daytime production from the 9.69 kW solar system
• 50 kWh of stored energy for extended overnight usage
• Essential circuits protected during unexpected blackouts
• Reduced reliance on the grid, especially during peak tariff windows
• Real-time monitoring and improved energy efficiency through the smart meter

Final Outcome

This Dianella installation combines strong solar output with large-capacity storage to create a stable and efficient energy setup for the household. With tidy internal battery placement, a well-designed rooftop layout, and full blackout protection, the system is built for long-term reliability and everyday convenience.
