Solar Battery Storage Townsville
Take Full Control of Your Energy With Battery Storage
A solar battery stores the excess power your panels generate during the day so you can use it at night, or keep it in reserve for when the grid goes down. In Townsville, that matters more than most places. Air conditioners keep running well after sunset, so most homes use the bulk of their power between 4pm and 10pm, right after the panels stop producing. Without a battery, that evening power is bought back from the grid at full price while your daytime surplus is exported for a small feed-in credit. With the right battery and inverter setup, a battery can also keep essential circuits running through North Queensland's storm season.
Solar Dimension supplies and installs leading battery brands suited to Queensland's climate and grid, including Sungrow, Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall 3, iStore and GoodWe. Whether you're pairing a battery with new solar or adding one to an existing system, we design storage around your actual usage, not a standard package. As a rough guide, a couple or small household often suits 5–10kWh, a family running evening air con 10–16kWh, and a larger home with a pool or EV 20kWh or more. We size every battery from your power bills and solar data, and apply the current Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount directly in your quote.
We install battery storage across Townsville and North Queensland, including Kirwan, Thuringowa, Idalia, Annandale, Douglas, Mount Louisa, Deeragun, Bushland Beach, Condon and Aitkenvale, as well as Ayr, Ingham and Charters Towers. Most residential installations are completed in a single day by our own licensed electricians from our Garbutt base.

What's Included With Battery Storage Installation
Battery Brands We Supply & Install
The best battery for your home depends on your existing inverter, how much storage you need and whether you want blackout backup. Most solar systems can have a battery added. If you already have a hybrid inverter, the battery usually connects straight to it. If you have a standard inverter, we either add an AC-coupled battery or upgrade to a hybrid. We'll recommend the right match, not one brand for everyone.
How Battery Storage Installation Works
Usage Review
We analyse your solar generation, power bills and evening usage to size the battery for how your household actually uses power, including air conditioning and pool pumps.
System Design
We check your existing inverter, switchboard and export settings, then select the right battery and inverter combination. If your switchboard needs an upgrade, it's included in the quote, so there are no surprises.
Installation
Our licensed in-house electricians install and wire the battery, usually within a single day for residential systems. No subcontractors.
Configuration & Testing
We set charge and discharge schedules around your evening usage, configure backup circuits where your system supports it, and test the whole system before we leave
Monitoring Setup
You'll see your battery's charge level, solar production and grid use in real time on the monitoring app, and we'll show you how to read it.
