PROBEC designs and installs solar battery systems across the Central Coast, helping homes and businesses store excess solar energy and reduce their reliance on electricity from the grid.
Central Coast homes are ideal candidates for battery storage. Many are freestanding with generous solar systems already exporting surplus power to the grid, power you could be keeping for yourself. Add the region’s exposure to storms and the outages they bring, and a battery starts to look less like a luxury and more like common sense.
A solar battery on the Central Coast captures your daytime generation and releases it when you need it, through the evening peak, overnight, or when a storm takes down the grid. If you commute to Sydney or Newcastle and use most of your power after dark, a battery is the single biggest saving you can make.
At PROBEC Solar, we design battery systems to work seamlessly with your solar panels on the Central Coast, so more of your clean energy stays in your home.
We install battery storage across the Central Coast and the surrounding area, including Gosford, Wyong, Terrigal, The Entrance, Erina, Woy Woy and Tuggerah.
Adding a home solar battery does more than save money; it changes how you power your life.
In short, a home battery on the Central Coast gives you control, comfort and confidence in your energy future.
When it comes to solar power batteries, there are a few technologies to weigh up:
Whether you’re after a premium system or a cost-effective entry point, we’ll guide you to the right fit. See our full battery options.
The most common question we hear is: “How much does a solar battery cost?” There isn’t a single answer; it depends on the details.
Price varies with the storage size you choose (a smaller 5 kWh unit, a mid-range 10 kWh system, or a larger 13.5 kWh battery for higher demand), the brand, your installation requirements, and whether you’re adding to existing solar or building a new hybrid system.
The upfront figure you see is after the federal discount. As of 2026, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program cuts roughly 30% off the cost of eligible batteries (5–100 kWh), applied straight off your quote at the point of sale – no forms, no waiting. From 1 May 2026, the discount will taper over time and be tiered for larger batteries, so installing sooner locks in a better rate. NSW households may also add a Virtual Power Plant sign-up incentive and access interest-free Home Energy Saver loans.
Over time, using your stored energy instead of buying at peak rates reduces your bills, which, together with the rebate, shortens the payback period.
A home battery setup in Central Coast can be hybrid (grid-connected with backup capacity) or off-grid (for properties without reliable grid access). Both integrate with your existing solar panels. Here’s the flow:
The result: more of your solar stays in your home, and less is exported at low feed-in rates.

New to solar? Start with our solar panels in the Central Coast.
Central Coast homes qualify for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program (about 30% off at the point of sale), plus the NSW VPP incentive and interest-free NSW Home Energy Saver loans to spread the cost.
Gosford, Wyong and the surrounding suburbs are on the Ausgrid network. We handle the connection and metering approvals.
Very often, yes. If you’re out during the day, a battery stores your solar surplus for the evening instead of exporting it cheaply, that’s where the biggest savings come from.
Yes, with rising power costs, high peak-demand charges and the current federal rebate. The long-term savings and blackout protection make it a strong investment.
Most installations are completed within 1–2 days, depending on system size and your property’s setup.
Lead-acid batteries have the lowest upfront cost, but lithium-ion is more efficient and offers far better long-term value.
Lithium-ion batteries such as Tesla Powerwall and LG Chem are designed to last around 10–15 years with proper use.
In most cases, retrofitting is possible provided your current system is compatible. We confirm this at the site inspection.
A 10 kWh system is a common choice for medium households. The exact cost depends on brand and installation, and is quoted after the federal rebate is applied.
For many homes, it depends on your usage and whether several high-demand appliances run at once.
Most average homes are well covered by a single 10–13.5 kWh battery; high-usage households may need more.
Yes, though runtime depends on the air conditioner’s size and what else is running at the same time.
Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem, and BYD are among the top choices for reliability, efficiency, and warranty; we’ll recommend the best fit for your home.
