You're selling your daytime solar for about 4 cents and buying it back at night for 30 cents or more. Answer three quick questions and see what a battery would keep in your pocket.

An estimate from your answers, using the 4c export and 30c buy-back figures on solarsurge.com.au. Your real number depends on your bills, your tariff and your roof, which is what the free assessment works out.
Move the sliders to match your home and see what a battery does to your day, hour by hour, then what it does to your year.
Estimates from typical South East Queensland sun hours and the 4c export and 30c buy-back rates on our site. Your free assessment works it out from your real bills.
Your solar panels work hardest during the day, but that's often when you're at work or school. All that energy gets exported to the grid for just 4 cents per kilowatt hour.
Then at night, when you cook dinner, run the aircon and charge devices, you buy that same energy back at 30 cents or more. It's like filling up a tank of fuel for free, then pouring most of it down the drain.
The fix isn't more panels. It's storage. Capture your daytime surplus and use it when you actually need it.
You sell at 4 cents and buy back at 30+ cents. That's a 650% markup on your own energy.
We don't just bolt on a battery. We engineer a complete upgrade that works with your existing system.
We assess your existing inverter to determine if it's battery-compatible or needs upgrading. No guesswork, just data-driven decisions.
We analyse your energy usage patterns and optimise the battery size and configuration for maximum self-consumption.
Our licensed electricians integrate the battery system with your existing setup. Full compliance, full testing, full peace of mind.
When storm season hits and the grid goes down, most solar systems shut off. With a Solar Surge battery, your home stays powered: fridge, lights and internet stay on.
See your solar generation, battery charge and grid usage in real time from your phone.
Automatic alerts if your system performance dips below expected thresholds. We fix issues before they cost you money.
No call centres, no ticket queues. You speak directly to the licensed electrical professional who built your system.
Word for word from Google, from homes across South East Queensland.
"Quick and easy process. Smooth installation. Regular checking in from customer support perspective. Rapid turnaround from in home quote to completion. Now instead of using energy from the grid, currently sending surplus back whilst covering all my own energy needs and then some."
"Fantastic service from beginning to end. Michael our salesperson was thorough and very knowledgeable. Max our lead installer was professional, proficient and his cabling was extremely neat. Beau's assistance throughout the entire process made it seem effortless. We highly recommend Solar Surge for any solar and battery requirement's!"
"Solar Surge were great to deal with for our battery installation. Good communication, pre installation email and text message. Arrived on time, removed all waste after install. Follow up phone call / text to make sure everything was working ok and to let us know to contact them if we needed anything."
"The system looks and performs excellently. You can tell they take pride in their work, right down to the 'sexy' app. Thank you Solar Surge for a smooth process and top-quality installation. We highly recommend you to anyone considering solar."
"Very positive experience with a quality install of a battery and inverter. Everyone from sales to admin and the installers were professional and friendly, so would definitely recommend Solar Surge."
"Great customer service, really friendly and explained things thoroughly. Installation was so easy and quick. The team were really helpful in recommending ways to maximise our benefits from the install! Highly recommend."
Every system is installed under our own electrical contractor's licence, so you get the same standard wherever you are.
From the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast: Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Toowoomba and Dalby.
The Northern Rivers down from the border, with the same in-house teams and the same licence.
In most cases yes. We check the age and condition of the existing system, whether the inverter is battery compatible, available switchboard capacity and the technical requirements of the proposed battery before recommending an approach.
That is common and not a problem. The assessment is the same: we inspect what is there, test compatibility and design the retrofit around it.
Some will and some will not. The first step of our process is an inverter check to determine whether it is battery compatible or needs upgrading, so the decision is based on data rather than assumption.
It depends on how much excess solar you generate and how much power you use after sunset. We analyse your usage pattern and size the battery for maximum self-consumption instead of defaulting to one capacity for every home.
Yes. Blackout protection is standard on our Energy Upgrade systems, so essentials such as the fridge, lights and internet stay on when the grid goes down. Most solar-only systems shut off in an outage.
No. Installations are carried out by our own licensed electrical teams, so one company holds responsibility for the design, the install and the aftercare.
