Other Considerations<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now there’s a lot of information there so here are some pointers to help you make sense of it all. To start with not all batteries are created equal. Just like you have great quality cars, solar panels and computers, you also have the more unreliable brands. Home battery systems are no different and price is often – but not always – a reflector of this.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On top of this it’s also important to realise that not all battery systems are the same, nor will they fit your specific use case<\/strong><\/em>. Perhaps you only want a 6 kWh battery, in this case buying the Tesla Powerwall 2 wouldn’t fit your needs as it’s far bigger and thus, more expensive. Another thing you must also take into consideration is whether or not the system includes a Battery Inverter. This is what converts the DC power from the battery into AC power so your home can use it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore there’s whether or not the system is readily available from your local supplier, the upfront cost and many other factors that can all be big sticking points when you buy your battery. There’s also the big question of whether or not purchasing a battery will be financially beneficial for you, which is a complex task to calculate and is different for everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Just The Beginning<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can no doubt tell, all these stats are a great place to start, but by no means give you a clear answer. To get to that, it’s recommended that you contact one of your local home battery storage suppliers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be sure to at least read up a little though first as many use the inherently complex nature of home batteries to confuse and oversell their customers. You should know why you want energy storage, have a solid understanding of how it works (eg. from our guide here<\/a>) and most importantly, get multiple quotes from two or more suppliers<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the most important thing to help reduce the risk of someone talking you into needing a huge system you might not actually need or want.<\/span><\/p>\n
