What Is a Solar & Battery Package?

A solar and battery package bundles panel installation and home battery storage into one project, one quote and one installation visit — instead of two separate jobs. Supply Solar designs the solar array and battery together so sizing is correct from day one, and lodges every rebate you're eligible for (Solar Homes and the federal battery rebate) in a single process.

Both rebates, one process

Solar Homes on the panels, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate on the storage — Supply Solar checks eligibility for both and applies them to a single quote.

Sized correctly from day one

Panels and battery designed together avoid the common mistake of a solar system too small (or too large) for the battery it's meant to charge.

One team, one install day

A single CEC-accredited crew handles solar and battery in one visit — less disruption, one set of compliance paperwork, one point of contact.

Five brands, one installer

Choose Your Battery Brand

Every package can be built around any of these five batteries. Not sure which fits? This guide narrows it down — then we confirm with a free assessment.

If your priority is… Best-fit brand Why
Maximum power output, single-phase Tesla Powerwall 3 11.5kW continuous output, built-in inverter
Three-phase home + built-in EV charging Sigenergy SigenStor 5-in-1 system, single or three-phase

Two Rebates, Applied to One Package

Whether you retrofit or start fresh, Supply Solar confirms your eligibility for both incentives and handles all the paperwork.

Cheaper Home Batteries Program (Federal)

The Australian Government's battery rebate, launched 1 July 2025, provides a subsidy on eligible home battery installations — significantly reducing the installed cost for qualifying households, on any of the five brands we install.

Solar Homes Program (New Systems)

Building a full solar + battery package? You'll likely also qualify for the Solar Homes Program rebate on the solar component. We check and lodge both — one quote, all rebates confirmed.

What Melbourne Homeowners Say

"Had a battery retrofitted to our existing 10kW system. Supply Solar checked inverter compatibility first, recommended an AC-coupled option so we kept our current inverter, and the install was clean and finished the same day."

SB
Sarah B.Frankston · Battery retrofit package

"We went with the full package — new solar and a Sungrow battery matched to a new inverter from day one. The team explained both rebates clearly and the quote matched the final bill exactly. No nasty surprises."

RM
Robert M.Berwick · Full solar + Sungrow package

"We did 13kW solar plus a Sigenergy SigenStor battery as a package — and we're planning to add their EV charger next. Supply Solar handled both rebates and sorted the grid approval. Our evening usage is now almost entirely from the battery. Very happy."

Solar & Battery Package FAQs

What is a solar and battery package?
A solar and battery package bundles panel installation and home battery storage into a single project, quote and installation visit. Supply Solar designs the solar array and battery together so the system is sized correctly from day one, and lodges every applicable rebate in one process. Get your free package quote →
Is it cheaper to install solar and a battery together?
Bundling often reduces total labour and scaffolding costs compared to two separate projects, and avoids compatibility issues between mismatched solar and battery equipment installed at different times. Supply Solar provides one all-inclusive quote covering both the Solar Homes rebate and the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program rebate, applied together.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Yes — this is a battery retrofit. Supply Solar checks your existing inverter's compatibility first. AC-coupled batteries such as GoodWe ESA or Alpha ESS SMILE5 work with almost any existing inverter, while other brands may need a new hybrid inverter. Retrofits are usually completed in a single day.
Which battery brand should I choose for my package?
It depends on your home. Tesla Powerwall 3 suits single-phase homes wanting the highest power output in one unit. Sigenergy SigenStor suits three-phase homes wanting built-in EV charging. GoodWe ESA and Alpha ESS SMILE5 suit the simplest AC-coupled retrofits. Sungrow suits homes already on a Sungrow inverter or needing very high capacity. We recommend the right brand during your free assessment.
What rebates apply to a solar and battery package in Victoria?
Two incentives typically apply: the Victorian Solar Homes Program rebate on the solar component (subject to eligibility and an income cap), and the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program rebate on the battery component, calculated per usable kWh. Supply Solar checks eligibility for both and applies them directly to your package quote.
How long does a solar and battery package installation take?
A typical new solar and battery package is installed in one to two days on-site, following a free assessment and design process. A battery-only retrofit onto existing solar is usually completed within a single day.
Can I finance a solar and battery package?
Supply Solar can discuss payment options during your free quote. Because packages combine two rebates into one project, the net out-of-pocket cost is typically lower than financing solar and a battery separately.
