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
