As more Australian homeowners look for greater energy independence, battery storage has become an essential part of a modern solar system. SolarThoughts® recently completed the installation of a 24kWh GoodWe Battery Storage System paired with a GoodWe Hybrid Inverter, providing the homeowner with a reliable, future-ready energy solution.
This upgrade allows the household to store excess solar energy generated during the day, use it when the sun goes down, and maintain power to essential circuits during grid outages.

The Challenge
The homeowner wanted to maximise the value of their existing solar system while reducing reliance on grid electricity. Without battery storage, excess solar energy produced during the day was exported to the grid instead of being available for use in the evening.
They were also looking for a dependable backup power solution to keep essential appliances running during unexpected power outages.
Our Solution
After assessing the property’s energy requirements, the SolarThoughts® team recommended installing a 24kWh GoodWe Battery Storage System integrated with a GoodWe Hybrid Inverter.
This solution enables the home to:
- Store surplus solar energy for later use.
- Automatically manage energy between the solar system, battery, and grid.
- Provide backup power to selected household circuits during outages.
- Improve overall energy efficiency and system performance.
The installation was completed by our experienced technicians, followed by thorough testing and commissioning to ensure the system operated safely and efficiently.
