How Solar & Battery Works

Solar panels harness Australia’s abundant sunshine to generate clean, renewable energy for your home or business. Here’s how AAA Energy’s integrated solar and battery systems work.

  • Step 1: Solar Panels Capture Sunlight
    High-quality photovoltaic (PV) panels on your roof convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Even on cloudy days, modern panels efficiently generate power thanks to Australia’s high solar irradiation levels.
  • Step 2: Inverter Converts DC to Usable AC Power
    The DC electricity flows to an inverter (mounted near your switchboard), which converts it into 240V alternating current (AC) – the standard for Australian homes and appliances. AAA Energy uses premium inverters with real-time monitoring for optimal performance.
  • Step 3: Powering Your Home
    Converted AC electricity travels through your switchboard to power lights, appliances, and devices immediately. This reduces reliance on grid electricity from the moment your system activates.
  • Step 4: Storing Excess Energy
    When solar production exceeds your usage:
    • Surplus energy charges your battery storage system (e.g., Tesla Powerwall or similar)
    • Batteries store power for use during peak tariffs, nighttime, or outages
    • Modern lithium batteries maintain 80%+ capacity for 10+ years
  • Step 5: Exporting Extra Energy
    If batteries reach full capacity, excess solar feeds into the main electricity grid. Your retailer pays you via a feed-in tariff (FiT), creating bill credits. AAA Energy helps maximise FiT earnings through smart system design.
  • Step 6: Intelligent Energy Management
    When solar generation stops (e.g., at night):
    • Your home draws stored energy from batteries
    • Once batteries deplete, automatic grid switching occurs
    • Smart meters track imports/exports for accurate billing
  • Step 7: 24/7 Monitoring & Optimization
    AAA Energy systems include cloud-based monitoring, allowing you to:
    • Track energy production/consumption via smartphone
    • Identify savings opportunities
    • Receive maintenance alerts
    • Access performance reports for warranty claims

Our Installation Process

Step 1: Research Your Options

Learn about solar energy’s potential as the first step in your journey. Whether considering batteries or solar panels, understanding your options is essential. Evaluate your finances, expected returns, and available incentives like government rebates and retailer deals.

Step 2: Partner with Your Electricity Retailer

Contact your electricity retailer to confirm payment arrangements, review electricity costs, and assess existing contracts. This ensures a seamless transition to solar energy and avoids surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What savings can I expect on electricity bills?
    Savings depend on your usage and system size. Typically, homeowners save between 20–30% annually. Solar offsets power usage and reduces your electricity costs over time.
  • How do residential solar panels operate?
    Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into DC electricity using photovoltaic cells. An inverter then transforms this into AC power for your home. The system also includes a mounting structure, inverter, and smart meter to manage surplus energy, which can even be sent back to the grid. Panels still generate 10–25% power on overcast days. AAA Energy will handle the installation and system configuration.
  • Can I claim a solar rebate in Sydney?
    Yes! If your system meets government standards and is fitted by an accredited installer like AAA Energy, we’ll lodge the STC rebate paperwork on your behalf. Once approved, the rebate is deducted from your system cost. Rates may change, so we’ll keep you updated.
  • How long does the installation process take in Sydney?
    Typically, a solar install spans 1–2 days. Day one involves evaluating your roof’s suitability and finalizing the system layout. Day two focuses on physically installing panels and connecting the inverter all done by AAA Energy’s certified professionals for a smooth setup.
