With plans to fully “Electrify” his home in Melville, Mike’s existing 2.5kW solar system was not going to cut the mustard. So he contacted Positive Energy for a tailored solution. Over the course of 3 days, our team uninstalled the existing solar & hot water system and replaced it with:
9.8kW of QCells solar panels split North, East & West + 5kW Fronius hybrid inverter + 7.7kWh BYD battery + Fronius Wattpilot EV Charger + 270L iStore Hot Water Heat Pump
This solar installation in Melville will produce an average of 38 units (kWh) per day, with excess solar power used for charging the home battery and electric car. To avoid drawing grid power when EV charging, the Fronius Wattpilot dynamically adjusts the charging rate to match the amount of excess solar power available. Pretty smart!
Lastly, thanks to the iStore Heat Pump replacing his old gas hot water system, Mike is now able to disconnect the gas supply and achieve his goal of whole home electrification!

6 Month savings update
In the beginning, Mike’s aim was to be as self-sufficient as possible. So, 6 months later we checked the online production & consumption data to see the results…
Over the past 6 months, Mike’s home has used 4,005 kWh of energy. That’s an average daily usage of 25 kWh per day which would normally be a $530 electricity bill from Synergy. But not when 99% of the energy is supplied by the Solar & Battery system!
In just 6 months, Mike has achieved $1,291 in savings on his electricity bill. Plus eliminated his gas bill entirely!
