How will solar power batteries help a Central Coast homeowner backup their essential services?

We are here at Ourimbah to install a solar power system and batteries that would generate around 60 kilowatts per day on average. The main aim of the installation is to power up the home during the day and offset various home appliances like pool pumps, air conditioning, and general usage with the solar energy. The extra energy that would have been exported to the grid is stored in the batteries and used for night-time consumption, making the homeowners self-sufficient.

The installation is important because the home uses around 60-70 kilowatts per day and having essential services backed up during blackouts was a deciding factor. The stored energy from the Tesla batteries provides power to run the water pump for flushing toilets and providing hot and clean drinking water. The installation guarantees long-term performance, high output, and excellent longevity, ensuring that the home would continue to generate power for decades to come.

We're here at Ourimbah, installing a solar power system and batteries. The solar system we believe will generate around about 60 kilowatts per day on average. Today being winter it's going to be generating around 40-50 kilowatts, and about half of that's going to go into the batteries ready for usage tonight, and the other half is going to be used by the home during the day. The main thing was to be able to power up the home during the day, to be able to offset the pool pumps, to be able to offset air conditioning, offset general home usage during the day. And the leftover that was normally exported to the grid, the owners wanted to capture that energy and store their own solar production, and put it into the batteries for usage in the nighttime. So pretty much wanting to go 100% self usage, by storing their own power and using it in the evening.

Yeah this home's using around about the 60-70 kilowatts per day, so we're trying to see if we can offset the same amount by generating that from the solar power, and storing the excess in the batteries. Having your essential services backed up in the event of a blackout was an important deciding factor here, because this house runs on a water pump to be able to flush toilets, and to be able to have hot water and clean drinking water. Having power available in the event of a blackout by using that from the stored energy from the Teslas', was a deciding factor. They wanted long-term performance, high output, excellent longevity. This installation is going to be generating power for decades to come.
