Why should you install a solar battery?
Installing a solar battery can make your solar system significantly more valuable. Some key benefits include:
Reduced electricity bills: By storing excess solar energy your system produces, you can save even more money on your energy costs. This is because you’ll need to purchase less electricity from the grid.
Environmental benefits: By maximising your current solar system, you’re using renewable energy more effectively. This enhances the environmental benefits of solar panels.
Increased energy independence: When you store more of your own power, you’re less reliant on the energy grid. This means you’re less susceptible to changes in the grid like higher energy prices.
Back-up power: Want to stay powered during blackouts? Solar batteries help you do exactly that by storing energy for when you need it.

The importance of quality solar battery installation
Having your solar battery installed properly is crucial for the following reasons:
Health and safety: Solar batteries that are not properly installed can raise significant safety concerns. Inadequate ventilation and incorrect wiring can lead to safety issues like fires. For the safety of you and your family, it’s vital that batteries are installed properly.
Integration with other elements: Your battery won’t function optimally if it isn’t properly integrated with elements like the solar inverter. Proper installation is crucial to ensure it effectively charges and discharges.
General performance: Like any appliance, proper installation is essential to allow your battery to do its job properly. To ensure efficient power storage and transfer, relying on a high-quality installer is vital.
Longevity: When properly installed, solar systems are a great way to save on your energy bills. However, these benefits are reduced if components like batteries need to be frequently repaired or replaced. With proper installation, your battery will be able to function well for longer time periods.

Had Brandon from Climate Plus out to service our air conditioner in Canberra and couldn’t be happier with the result. He arrived on time, was incredibly professional, and clearly knew his stuff. Brandon took the time to explain exactly what he was doing, gave the unit a thorough clean and service, and had it running better than ever — heating the house faster and noticeably quieter. If you’re looking for reliable air conditioning service in Canberra, ask for Brandon at Climate Plus. Honest pricing, quality workmanship, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend for anyone needing AC servicing, repairs, or maintenance in the ACT.
I'll definitely be engaging Climate Plus in the future for other needs as well such as plumbing and solar!

Climate Plus made the whole process of getting off gas and going fully solar very easy. Their team was able to come out promptly, explained the options clearly and logically, and came back with very competitive pricing. They were also really easy to deal with as I juggled other works that needed to happen prior to the solar install; they were super accommodating of the small delay our other tradespeople necessitated. The install went very smoothly, the team were polite, respectful, and friendly - pleasure to have on site. They even replaced a couple of pre-existing cracked tiles for us as well. The solar system and hot water system they recommended and installed are working brilliantly. Very easy to navigate the interfaces and outside of a couple of very rainy days, the system has meant we have been effectively off grid since it was installed.

Really happy with our recent solar install from Climate+. Bobby gave us a competitive quote and the installation team were easy to deal with and responsive to our needs, and the install went very smoothly.
We’re now all set with our Aiko/Sigenergy 14.25kW solar panel/32kW battery system and enjoying the move towards energy self sufficiency.
Would highly recommend them for quality work and a positive client experience.

10/10. Thoroughly impressed with this company, from the first consultation to the installation was a pleasant experience. Liam came to our home to quote for solar panels and batteries and was such a genuine and honest bloke who made us feel very comfortable and confident he and his team could deliver what we were after. The tradies that completed the install were the most polite, friendly and skilled tradesmen and are an integral part of this company. Not often you find tradesmen that have the care and work ethic these young men had.

Solar panels and Battery Installation
Josh and his team where extremely professional about the installation. Consulting us about a few issues that arose. Like where to place the battery. There where on time, worked very hard and efficiently and most of all cleanly. The electrical work done by a 4th year apprentice was better quality and neater than ive seen most electricians do.
All the information about the system was fully explained to my Mum, in a way that even she could understand.
They also sent all the information required to my email. Setup the app for the solar system last night. Super easy works well.

Highly recommend Dan from Climate Plus! He came out to install our new hot water heat pump system and his work was exceptional! He went out of the way to make the install so neat, it looks incredible! He was also such a nice guy, very considerate with his boots and our dogs, and took the time to answer my questions and chat with me while he was working. The new system works great too!

A pleasure to deal with Climate Plus each and every time. Tom communicated the booking clearly and the technician was able to attend that day. Jack was prompt, polite and assessed and repaired my 15 year old heater at a very reasonable rate. I would not hesitate to recommend Climate Plus for all service and repairs.

I had a 20kW solar system installed with a 25kW battery by Climate Plus and couldn’t be happier. My household is now completely self-sufficient – no longer have power bills at all.
While I did receive some cheaper quotes, Climate Plus offered very competitive pricing, and the service was above and beyond anyone else I spoke to. From the initial consultation to the final install, everything was professional, efficient, and clearly explained.
Highly recommend Climate Plus if you’re looking for quality solar and battery installation with excellent customer after care.
Photos were provided by Climate Plus after install, they wouldn’t let me up with them 🤣

Had Truman come out to look at a gas heater that had faulted and locked itself. Super friendly service, ran some diagnostic checks, made some adjustments and got the heater running again. Explained everything in detail as he went, then advised on potential next steps if I encounter the issue again. Felt informed the whole time, highly recommended!
