Huntingdale Solar and Battery Expansion

We recently completed a comprehensive solar and battery upgrade in Huntingdale, designed to provide the homeowner with long-term protection from rising electricity costs, improved energy independence and reliable backup power.

The property already had a functioning solar system in place, however the household’s energy usage had increased over time. Like many homes in Western Australia, excess solar generated during the day was being exported back to the grid at low feed-in tariff rates, while electricity was then purchased back during the evening at a much higher rate.

To maximise the value of the existing solar system, our team expanded the solar capacity and installed a high-capacity Alpha ESS battery system to store daytime production for use at night.

Solar Expansion

9.86 kW Solar Array (additional panels to work alongside the existing system)
Designed to increase generation during daylight hours and improve the amount of solar energy stored rather than exported.

Battery Storage & Power Control

Alpha ESS 5 kW Inverter

50 kWh Alpha ESS Battery Storage System

Blackout Protection via Changeover Switch

The system has been integrated with the existing solar setup, allowing the homeowner to use their solar power both day and night. The Alpha ESS battery platform is modular, meaning additional storage can be added in the future if energy needs grow.

How the System Benefits the Homeowner

Store and Use Solar at Night
With 50 kWh of storage, the household can run their home well into the evening without drawing from the grid.

Reduce Electricity Bills Significantly
More self-consumption means less reliance on grid power during high-tariff periods.

Improved Return on Existing Solar Investment
The battery system ensures more of the solar generated is used by the household rather than exported at low rates.

Seamless Blackout Protection
The changeover switch keeps essential circuits powered during grid outages, providing peace of mind and energy security.

Future-Ready Power System
The solution is designed to scale. If household usage increases, both solar and battery capacity can be expanded further.

Why This Upgrade Matters

Electricity costs continue to rise across Western Australia, and feed-in tariffs have fallen significantly in recent years. For many homeowners with an existing solar system, adding battery storage is the most effective way to control ongoing power costs and secure long-term savings.

This Huntingdale installation ensures the homeowner can use their own clean energy around the clock and reduces their exposure to future pricing changes, while also providing dependable backup power when required.
