Solar only (grid-tie)
Slash your daytime bill — best where load-shedding is less of a worry.
Who this suits
Homes and businesses focused on cutting the bill, where daytime use is high and backup is a lower priority. Often the cheapest route to the biggest daytime saving.
How it works
Panels power your home directly during the day, cutting what you draw from the grid. Without a battery there is no backup during an outage, but your daytime savings are maximised for the lowest cost per kW installed.
What's in this system
- Solar panels
- Grid-tie or hybrid inverter
What you gain, what to weigh up
The upside
- Best value per kW — no battery cost
- Large daytime bill savings
- Simple, fast install
- Add a battery later to gain backup
Worth considering
- No backup during load-shedding (no battery)
- Savings are mostly during daylight hours
