Some people cold knocked on my dad's door and 3 weeks later he's got a wall of batteries in the garage. Rural Australia.
So yeah, there are businesses that'll do it.
- ozim 2y agoIn place where I live you do that and they will rip you off good time. Better to DIY or at least do really good market research first.
- iamthemonster 2y agoAustralia has become SO competitive for solar and battery installation you can actually be fairly safe nowadays just picking any old supplier that has >4.7* on google and there'll almost definitely be <10% price difference (that's the WA experience anyway). Going with a door knocking sales rep for home batteries would be madness in most countries but chances are pretty good that in Australia you would get a perfectly decent product.

- nicois 2y agoDespite what you get in Australia being pretty reliable, it's too expensive to justify quite yet. My 8kW solar is connected to a Fronius inverter, but until I find a less expensive option I can justify adding a battery. A 13kWh system is over $AUD10k, and the ROI is on par with the expected lifespan of the battery. If sodium cells can bring the price down to $AUD100 it would indeed be a massive game changer.
- iamthemonster 2y agoYep I agree - I will, however, be happy to install a battery if it doesn't save me money but does represent a carbon price of about $100/tonne
