Reliable batteries to get more from your solar
RACV Solar provides high quality solar batteries to store your excess power and help reduce energy bills.
- Store excess power: use energy when needed, instead of sending it back to the grid and buying it back.
- Blackout protection: some batteries keep running when the grid goes down so appliances and lighting work during an area power outage. (Not all batteries offer blackout protection).
- Get more from your investment: sell excess solar back to the grid for credits on your bill, or time-based electricity tariffs.

Frequently asked questions
A battery will store any excess electricity generated by your solar panels. Later this stored electricity can be used when sun exposure is low, like cloudy days or at night. It can also provide emergency backup power during a grid outage.
The length a battery can power your home depends on the type of unit. As a guide, a typical larger battery will hold 50 to 75% of an average homes’ daily electricity usage.
If you don’t have a battery, you may need to reconnect to the main grid when your solar energy is low. This means you’ll be charged for power from your electricity retailer. Whilst you may earn by selling your excess electricity, the cost to reconnect to the grid can be generally higher than the credit you’ll get through a tariff.

It’s possible to go completely off-grid, but keep in mind, less electricity may be produced on overcast days.
For homes with a battery storage system, excess electricity from previous sunny days has been stored and can be used. However, if you don’t have a battery, you may need to reconnect to the grid for power.
