Why More Aussies Are Adding Batteries to Their Solar Systems
At RKS Energy Solutions, we help NSW homes and businesses take the next step in clean energy – battery storage. With rising power prices and new NSW and federal government battery rebates, there has never been a better time to invest in a solar battery system.
What Is Solar Battery Storage?
Solar batteries store the extra power your solar panels generate during the day. You can use it at night or during peak demand hours when electricity from the grid is expensive.
With RKS Energy Solutions battery systems, you get:
-Lower energy bills
-Reliable power supply
-Greater energy independence
-Option to sell energy back to the grid (through a VPP)
Why Battery Storage Makes More Sense Than Feed-in Tariffs
Years ago, energy companies offered generous feed-in tariffs for solar users selling power back to the grid. But today, feed-in rates have dropped—often to just a few cents per kWh.
At the same time, you are buying electricity from the grid at much higher prices.
That’s why self-consumption is now the smarter way to save. With a solar battery, you can:
Store excess solar energy instead of selling it for a low price
Use that stored energy when grid electricity is expensive
Avoid high peak rates and reduce your overall power bill
The return on investment is now higher when you use your solar power rather than exporting it.
Benefits of Installing a Battery with RKS Energy Solutions
Lower Electricity Bills –
Use your stored solar energy at night
Avoid peak-time electricity charges
Protect yourself from future electricity price hikes
Government Rebates & Tax Benefits –
Federal battery rebates now available
Get instant savings on battery costs
Claim tax deductions if you are a business owner
Reliable Power Anytime –
Even without a battery, your solar system helps cut daytime power costs. But with a battery, you get added protection from blackouts and greater control over your energy use.
Make Money with a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)-
Sell excess energy back to the grid
While the current NSW battery discount will end, the NSW Government’s incentive for connecting your battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) will nearly double starting 1 July 2025. Even better, this VPP incentive can be combined with the new federal battery rebate, giving you more ways to save.

This feature depends on your battery. Many solar batteries work in a blackout When they are fitted with blackout protection. Others can automatically provide backup power as soon as an outage is detected. An example of this is the Tesla battery system, which is fitted with the Tesla Backup Gateway. The Backup Gateway manages the connection to the grid and automatically switches to backup power when it detects a power outage. If you want your battery storage system to be able to provide backup power, make sure to discuss this requirement with your solar installer. During power outages, we recommend that you backup essential appliances only. This way, the energy stored in your battery will be supplied to appliances that are critical to your safety, health, and communication. We can design the solar battery to back up essential appliances such as lighting, fridge, and power outlets while leaving out
