Maximise your solar energy, with a home battery
Receive a large, fully maintained home battery on a monthly subscription. This allows excess energy generated by rooftop solar to be stored and used when needed, reducing your electricity costs and carbon footprint.
Residents at Hesperia’s Rivermark estate receive a 50% discount on their subscription.
How it works
Subscribe to our Solar Maximiser Service and one of our trusted partners will install a high-quality Q-Cells 13.7 kWh home battery for no upfront cost.
Our installer will visit your home and decide the best location for the battery – they can also help with the install of your solar system.
A home battery will allow you to use the excess solar you generate during the day and power your home in the evenings, saving you money on your electricity bill.
A typical household will save around $1,000 a year on their utility bill, while also reducing your carbon footprint – a 13.7kWh battery will typically allow a household to run on over 90% renewable energy.
