Based on 8 kW solar × 5 sun hours × Perth derate, with a 13.5 kWh battery offsetting peak-rate Synergy A1 usage and exporting the surplus at DEBS peak/off-peak rates. Real savings depend on your specific tariff plan, usage pattern, and installation — an installer confirms the final quote.

Why a battery makes sense in Alkimos

New master-planned community with energy-efficient homes
Coastal location, so salt air protection is needed for outdoor units
Young families with high evening consumption
Wide open streetscapes give roofs good solar access
Existing solar uplift: A typical 8-13 kW system here makes 43-47 kWh/day (8kW) on a summer day — storing the excess is worth ~33c/kWh here versus 2–10c/kWh for export
Backup during outages: With 22-30 kWh typical daily usage here, critical-circuit backup keeps refrigeration, lighting, and security running through grid events

Solar adoption in AlkimosPostcode 6038 · CER data

Small-scale batteries registered since July 2025391

Usable storage those batteries hold7,759 kWh

solar systems installed per 100 dwellings since 2001 (includes upgrades and replacements; dwellings as at 2021 Census)110.6

Occupied private dwellings in postcode 6038 at the 2021 Censusan estimated 3,521

WA total, 3.37 GW installed584,784 systems

The ABS counts dwellings by suburb rather than by postcode, so that total is apportioned across postcode boundaries and is approximate. Every certificate created for a new, upgraded or replaced system since 2001 counts towards the ratio above, so it is not the share of homes with solar. Where building has continued since the Census, the figure can pass 100.

Based on Clean Energy Regulator data for postcode 6038. WA has the highest per-capita rooftop solar adoption rate in Australia.

ERA benchmarkPass

Outage duration (SAIDI min/yr), ERA target ≤10572

Outage frequency (SAIFI), ERA target ≤1.20.9

Northern metro suburbs have good grid reliability with below-average outage frequency. Backup battery value is primarily for self-consumption optimisation and DEBS arbitrage rather than outage protection.

Common outage causes: equipment failure, planned maintenance, storm damage. Network infrastructure: Modern underground cabling in newer developments. Some older overhead lines in established areas.
