We recently installed this Solar and Battery system in Baldivis for our customer, Brad. The 6.6kW of All-Black QCells solar panels are connected to a 5kW Fronius Primo GEN24+ hybrid inverter and 5.1kWh BYD battery.
During the day, Brad maximises his savings by load shifting. For example, the pool pump is timed to run during the day, and the dishwashing machine is used in the morning.
At night, the 5.1kWh BYD battery provides enough energy to power Brad’s house past 9pm, after which low-cost Off-Peak grid power can be used. Should Brad decide to expand his battery capacity, more BYD battery modules can be added.
This solar installation in Baldivis will produce an average of 27 units per day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much energy will a 6.6kW solar system produce in Perth?
A 6.6kW solar system like this one in Baldivis produces an average of 27 units per day. Over a year, this adds up to 9,850 kWh of energy output.
Can the battery in this system power my house all night?

What should I do to get the most savings from solar and batteries?
Load shifting is key to maximising savings. This means running high-energy tasks during the day when your solar panels produce power, like timing your pool pump to run during daylight hours and using your dishwashing machine in the morning.
Can I add more battery storage later if I need it?
Yes. If Brad decides to expand his battery capacity, more BYD battery modules can be added to his existing system.
