Helping a Homeowner Make Better Use of Solar Energy with Battery Storage

Having an existing solar system does not always mean a home is making full use of the energy it produces. This homeowner was looking for a way to capture more of their daytime solar generation and make that energy available when household demand was higher.

System Specifications

• GoodWe Active Hybrid 5kW Inverter (1 Phase)
• GoodWe Lynx Home Battery – 9.6kWh
• 1-Phase Consumption Meter

Location: Frederick St, Shoalwater, WA 6169

The project began with an assessment of the homeowner’s existing solar setup. The Fritts Solar team reviewed the system and developed a battery solution suited to the existing installation. The proposal also provided an overview of the expected performance and how the additional equipment would work with the current system.

The homeowner then had the opportunity to discuss the proposal directly with the team. Fritts Solar explained the proposed battery setup, installation requirements, and how battery storage could change the way the home’s solar energy was used. This gave the customer a clear picture of the upgrade before proceeding.

Finance was another part of the process. Once the project was approved, Fritts Solar helped coordinate an interest-free loan through Plenti and supported the homeowner with the necessary documentation. Keeping communication clear throughout helped the finance and installation arrangements progress without unnecessary complications.

When installation day arrived, the team was ready to begin ahead of schedule. The new battery equipment was integrated with the home’s existing solar system, with the installation completed carefully and efficiently.

The system was then commissioned and tested to confirm that the battery and associated equipment were operating correctly. The installation team also completed a thorough clean-up, ensuring the property was left neat and free of packaging and other installation materials.

The homeowner was pleased with the experience, particularly the professional communication and guidance provided throughout the project. The customer had originally found Fritts Solar through SolarQuotes while exploring solar and battery options and proceeded with the upgrade after considering their available choices.

The completed upgrade gives the homeowner the ability to retain more of the solar energy generated during the day and draw on stored energy later. Instead of allowing as much excess generation to leave the property, the battery provides another way to use that energy within the home when it is needed.

This project highlights the value of looking beyond solar generation alone. For homeowners who already have solar installed, the right battery solution can provide greater flexibility in how that energy is stored and used, while a carefully planned installation ensures the new equipment works effectively with the existing system.
