Project Overview

Winki Energy designed and installed a high performance solar and storage solution for a homeowner on Eton Rd, Torquay. This system was engineered to maximise solar generation while providing reliable energy storage using advanced Sigenergy battery technology. The installation enhances the household’s energy independence and reduces reliance on grid electricity supporting long-term cost savings and sustainability.

What the client needed

The homeowner wanted a solar energy system that could significantly offset their electricity consumption while offering a dependable backup power source. They sought a modern, future ready energy setup capable of storing excess solar energy during the day and using it at night to minimise grid use. Energy efficiency, reliability and long-term financial savings were key priorities in their transition to renewable energy.


Our objectives

Our main goals for this project were to:

Ensure long-term savings and sustainable energy use for the homeowner.

Reduce grid dependency by increasing solar self-consumption.

Provide reliable energy storage through the installation of a 16kWh Sigenergy battery.

Optimise system performance with premium REC Alpha Pure-R panels for maximum efficiency and durability.

The system we designed & installed

The 13kW system features 31 REC Solar Alpha Pure-R panels, known for their superior efficiency, sleek design and long lifespan. These panels were carefully positioned to capture optimal sunlight throughout the day. The system is paired with a 16kWh Sigenergy battery, providing robust storage capacity that allows the homeowner to store and utilise solar power even after sunset.

This combination ensures consistent, efficient and clean energy generation. The Sigenergy battery’s smart management system seamlessly integrates with the solar array, enabling intelligent power use and automatic backup during outages.

The final outcome

The Eton Rd homeowner now enjoys a highly efficient and future-proof solar energy system that delivers clean, renewable power throughout the day and night. With substantial reductions in electricity bills and greater control over their energy consumption, the homeowner benefits from both environmental and financial gains.

This installation showcases Winki Energy’s dedication to providing tailored solar and storage solutions that empower households with energy independence, sustainability and long-term value.

RESIDENTIAL SOLAR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers To The Most Common Residential Solar Questions

How do I know if my home is suitable for solar?

If you have a roof with good sun exposure (ideally north-facing), minimal shading, and use a fair amount of electricity during the day, solar is likely a great fit. We’ll assess your property to confirm suitability.

A solar battery stores the excess energy your panels generate during the day so you can use it at night or during power outages. It’s ideal if you want energy independence, more savings, or backup power.

 

Prices vary based on system size and brands chosen. As a guide, a 6.6kW system without battery starts around $4,000–$6,000 (after rebates), while adding a battery like Tesla Powerwall may bring the total to $12,000–$15,000. We’ll tailor a quote to your needs.

Yes! Most systems are battery-ready, and we can retrofit a compatible battery to your current setup after assessing your inverter and panel configuration.

Most batteries have a warranty of 10 years and a lifespan of 10–15 years. Brands like Tesla and Sonnen offer high-quality, long-lasting solutions with strong performance guarantees.
