Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at steve@stevemarriselectrical.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Every home is different, but a properly sized solar system can significantly reduce your electricity costs by generating power during the day instead of buying it from the grid. We assess your Ergon Energy usage and recommend a system designed around your actual consumption. 


For many households, yes. A battery allows you to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it at night when electricity prices are highest. It can increase self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on the grid. 


The Sungrow SBR range is a modular battery system that can be expanded over time as your energy needs change.

The Sungrow SBH range is designed for larger storage capacities and households wanting greater backup capability and energy independence.

We can recommend the most suitable option based on your home and goals.


 The right size depends on:

  • Household energy usage 
  • Number of occupants 
  • Air conditioning usage 
  • Electric vehicles 
  • Future battery plans 

Common residential systems include 5kW, 8kW and 10kW+ installations.


Standard solar systems generally switch off during outages for safety reasons.

A hybrid solar and battery system may provide backup power capabilities depending on system design and backup requirements.


Choosing the right size is critical.

An undersized unit will struggle to cool the space. An oversized unit may be inefficient and cost more to run.

We assess room size, insulation, ceiling height and usage patterns before recommending a system.


Common causes include:

  • Old inefficient units 
  • Incorrect sizing 
  • Dirty filters 
  • Poor maintenance 
  • Excessive cooling settings 

An upgrade to a modern energy-efficient system can often reduce running costs.


Most residential systems benefit from servicing every 12 months to maintain efficiency, airflow and system lifespan.


Older switchboards may not be suitable for modern electrical demands, solar systems, batteries or EV chargers.


We can inspect your existing setup and advise whether upgrades are recommended.
