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
