Solar Battery
Brands We Carry In Perth
A Battery Lives With You For 10–15 Years.
Brand Is A Long-Term Bet.
Cheap Brands Disappear
35+ Solar Companies In WA Have Closed In The Last 3 Years Alone. When The Installer Went, So Did Their Warranties. We Only Install Brands With Genuine Global Scale And Australian Distribution Partners.
The Chemistry You Want Is LFP
Lithium Iron Phosphate Runs Cooler, Tolerates Perth's Heat Better Than Older NMC Chemistry, And Has A Fundamentally Lower Thermal Runaway Risk. Every Brand We Install Uses LFP Exclusively.
Ecosystem Lock-In Is Real
For Better Or Worse, Some Brands Work With Everything (BYD). Others Build An Ecosystem Around Themselves (Tesla, Sigenergy) With Benefits If You Buy In Fully, Less Benefit If You Mix. Know What You're Choosing.

What it takes to be on this page
We don't install every battery on the market. The brands below cleared a specific bar:
- •CEC Approved Battery List — included and current
- •Synergy or Horizon Power Supported Solutions List — qualified for WA Residential Battery Scheme
- •LFP chemistry — safer, longer-lasting, better in WA heat
- •Australian distribution presence — warranty support that survives the retailer
- •Verifiable field performance — either through our own install base or through independent industry review
Brands we have specifically chosen not to install (for reference): older NMC chemistry products, single-source imports without Australian distribution, brands without genuine VPP compatibility, batteries under 5 kWh (too small to clear WA rebate minimum).

What "CEC Approved" And "Supported Solutions List" Actually Mean
Two Different Lists — Both Matter For Different Reasons. Short Version:
What This Means For You
When We Quote A Battery, It Will Be On Both Lists. If You're Researching A Brand Not On Our Page, Check Both Lists Before Committing. Scheme Eligibility Hinges On It.
CEC Approved Battery List
Maintained By The Clean Energy Council. A Battery Must Be CEC-Approved To Be Installed By A CEC-Accredited Installer, Which Is A Prerequisite For The Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program Rebate. All 7 Brands On This Page Are CEC-Approved.
Synergy / Horizon Power Supported Solutions List
Maintained By The WA Electricity Retailers. A Battery Must Appear On The SSL (For Your Retailer) To Qualify For The WA Residential Battery Scheme Rebate. All 7 Brands On This Page Are On The Relevant SSL — But Specific Models Vary, So We Confirm The Exact Product Eligibility At Quote Stage.
Why The Two Lists Aren't Identical
CEC Approval Is A Safety And Performance Standard. SSL Inclusion Adds WA-Specific Requirements Around VPP Compatibility, Data Protocol And Network Integration. A Battery Can Be CEC-Approved But Not On A WA SSL — Common For Newer Brands Still Working Through State Qualification.
What "CEC Approved" And "Supported Solutions List" Actually Mean
Two Different Lists — Both Matter For Different Reasons. Short Version:
Why Our Installer Certifications Matter
Installing These Brands Well Isn't Plug-And-Play. Several Of Them Require Installer Certifications Beyond General CEC Accreditation. Here's What We Hold:
- •Tesla Certified Installer — Direct Tesla Training And Authorisation For Powerwall Installations
- •Sigenergy Pro Partner — Authorised Sigenergy Installer And Field Support
- •BYD Authorised — Recognised BYD Battery Installer
- •IStore Authorised Installer — Warranty-Backed IStore Installations
- •CEC Approved Retailer — Clean Energy Council's Highest Retailer Accreditation
- •SAA-Accredited (Solar Accreditation Australia) — Required For WA Residential Battery Scheme
Why This Matters:
When A Brand Audits An Installer's Work, Uncertified Installs Can Void The Manufacturer Warranty. Every Install We Do Is Performed By An Installer Holding The Relevant Brand Certifications — Protecting Your Warranty On Day One And Every Day After.
