As more Australian families embrace green energy solutions, Solis, a globally recognised leader in solar and storage technology, is helping homeowners like Mr. Sun take the next step toward energy independence with its advanced SolisStorage 8kW Hybrid System.

A trusted choice for sustainable energy

Since 2016, Mr. Sun has relied on Solis inverters for efficient, stable solar power. For nine years, his PV system has been running reliably with consistent performance. With the introduction of Australia’s new battery rebate policy, Mr. Sun decided to retrofit his existing solar installation into a solar-plus-storage system. Building on his trust in Solis’ technology, he once again chose Solis—upgrading to the SolisStorage 8kW Hybrid System, which seamlessly integrates solar generation and battery storage.

“I’ve been using Solis products since 2016. They’ve always been reliable, with good technology that helps me save on energy costs while supporting a greener planet,” said Mr. Sun. “With the new government battery incentives, now is the perfect time to install a battery. I chose Solis again because I trust their technology and know it will deliver long-term value.”

By July 2025, the retrofit was complete. The upgraded system is expected to save Mr. Sun approximately AUD 2,300 in annual electricity costs while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by around 4.8 tonnes each year.

Thanks to the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program, eligible households can now access substantial rebates to reduce the upfront cost of battery storage. This national initiative is designed to make clean energy more affordable and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.

Seamless integration & smart energy management

The SolisStorage 8kW system not only stores excess solar energy but also integrates with Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), allowing homeowners to optimise energy usage and earn financial benefits by supporting grid stability.

Rafeek, Senior Technical Engineer at Solis Australia, explained:

“Western Australia’s government rebates make battery storage an even smarter investment. With Solis’ VPP-ready inverters, homeowners like Mr. Sun can reduce annual electricity costs by up to $2,300 while contributing to a more resilient energy grid.”

Key Benefits of the SolisStorage 8kW Hybrid System

  • Energy Independence: Store solar power for use during peak tariff periods or grid outages.
  • Government Incentives: Maximise savings with state rebates and VPP participation.
  • Smart Grid Integration: Support renewable energy adoption while lowering bills.
  • Proven Reliability: Backed by Solis’ industry-leading inverter technology.

A Future-Proof Investment

Mr. Sun’s system is already delivering significant savings and providing reliable backup power during grid strain.

“Joining the VPP scheme was definitely a smart move for me,” he said. “I can significantly reduce my power bills, contribute to grid stability, and store more clean energy for my own use. With Solis’ stability and reliability, I’m confident this system will last for years and deliver a great return on my investment.”

With Australia’s push toward clean energy, SolisStorage offers households a secure, sustainable, and cost-effective solution. For homeowners looking to future-proof their energy needs, Solis provides the technology and reliability to make the transition seamless.
