Home battery storage
Explore home battery installation alongside your existing solar, switchboard and energy goals. This is home storage, not vehicle battery repair or replacement.
Free to get a quote
Getting a quote costs nothing, and you're under no obligation to accept it.
Licensed and insured
Every partner is a licensed electrician with public liability insurance. We won't send anyone who isn't licensed for the work.
Electricians who work locally
We pass your job to a vetted partner who covers your suburb and does this kind of work.
Why get your home battery quote through Sparky Local?
It starts with what you already have
Your inverter, switchboard and wall space decide what's possible. We pass your details to a partner who works with home batteries, so the assessment starts from your existing system.
A careful assessment over a fast sale
A battery is a large purchase that sits on your wall for years. We work with electricians we'd trust in our own homes, and we'd rather you get the right system than a quick one.
EV charging in the same enquiry
If a charger is on the list too, mention it. One electrician can look at both and plan the switchboard work once.
What you can ask about
- Home battery installation
- Adding a battery to existing solar
- Inverter and switchboard compatibility checks
- Blackout backup questions
- Battery and EV charging planned together
Have these ready
None of it is required, but it helps the electrician understand the job sooner.
- A photo of your solar inverter's label
- A photo of your switchboard and meter box
- A recent power bill, or usage from your retailer's app
- The battery brand and model, if you've chosen one
- Whether you want the battery to keep power on in a blackout
Questions to answer before you get a quote
What should the battery do?
Store daytime solar for the evening, keep some circuits running in a blackout, or both. Backup needs extra equipment and not every setup offers it, so say if it matters to you.
How much you use at night
Your bill or retailer app shows usage by time of day. That number helps the electrician talk about battery size.
Where it can go
Batteries have rules about where they can be mounted, including distance from doors, windows and living areas. The electrician confirms what's allowed at your home.
Your existing solar
The age and type of your inverter decide whether a battery connects to it or needs its own. A photo of the inverter label answers most of this.
What affects the quote?
Getting a quote is free. Every home is different, so we don't publish a set price; the electrician quotes after assessing the job, the site and the equipment involved. These things move the price most:
- Existing solar inverter and switchboard
- Where the battery can be installed
- Desired storage and backup expectations
- Whether EV charging is part of the same project
Common questions
Does it cost anything to get a quote?
No. Getting a quote through Sparky Local is free, and you're under no obligation to accept it. You only pay the electrician if you decide to go ahead.
Is this for replacing a car battery?
No. This page is for fixed home battery storage used alongside household energy equipment and, when part of the same project, EV charging.
Do I need solar to get a battery?
No. A battery can charge from the grid, though most home batteries are installed alongside solar. Tell us what you have.
Will a battery keep my power on in a blackout?
Only if the system is set up for backup. Some are and some aren't. Say if backup matters to you so the electrician includes it in the assessment.
Can I ask about a battery I already chose?
Yes. Include the brand and model in the job details so the team can check the relevant installation path.
Are the electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. We only work with licensed electricians, and every partner carries public liability insurance. You won't be sent someone who isn't licensed for the job.
