Solar & batteries in South Perth

Why a battery makes sense in South Perth

• •Strong solar generation: Minimal shading in most areas + good roof access yields 1,620+ kWh per kW of installed solar each year
• •Strata constraints: Apartment complexes require body-corporate approval and may need embedded-network solutions for shared batteries
• •Heritage pockets: Some streets carry City of South Perth planning rules — design for low visual impact on visible elevations
• •Existing solar uplift: Excess generation exported at 2–10c/kWh now stores into the battery for ~33c/kWh A1 self-consumption value
• •Backup during outages: Critical-circuit backup keeps refrigeration, lighting, and security running through grid events
• •Network capacity: Standard 5 kW export limit applies — battery storage absorbs surplus that would otherwise be clipped
