Homes in Potts Point
What we check on a Potts Point home.
Every house is different, but homes in Potts Point raise the same few questions. We answer them on the site visit, before you see a price.
Mostly apartments
About 87% of homes in Potts Point are flats or apartments (2021 Census). Panels or a battery on common property need the owners corporation's approval, so tell us about your building and we'll tell you what the committee will want to see.
Heritage rules we design to
Parts of Potts Point are in heritage conservation areas (the Potts Point area). The City of Sydney's solar guideline wants panels flush with the roof and at least 300mm from the ridge, no inverters or conduit on show, and no battery on a wall facing the main street. We design to those rules from the start.
On the harbour
Some battery and inverter makers reduce warranty cover close to salt water. In Potts Point we check how far your home is from the water against the maker's manual, then put the battery where the warranty holds, often in the garage or on a sheltered wall.
The battery rebate
The rebate, in plain English.
A battery charges from your solar during the day so the house runs on it at night, instead of buying that power from the grid. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program takes money off the price of the battery.
Straight off the price
$4,170* off an 18kWh battery, taken off your quote. SIPENERGY claims it as the accredited installer, so there's no form for you to fill in later.
It goes in with solar
The battery has to be installed with solar panels: the ones already on your roof, or new ones fitted at the same time.
Smaller from 1 January
From 1 January 2027 the same battery gets $3,490*. The install date decides the amount, not the date you sign.

How it works
One power bill. A straight answer.
01
Tell us your power bill
What you pay a quarter tells us roughly how much power the house uses, which is what decides whether a battery is worth it.
02
We tell you straight
Someone from our Sydney team calls back with whether a battery suits your home, what size, and what the rebate takes off. If it doesn't stack up, we say so.
03
Free site visit and quote
We come to your Potts Point home and check the roof, the switchboard and where the battery can go. The rebate is on the quote, so you see the price you pay before you sign.
04
Installed by our electricians
Usually one day on site. We claim the rebate for you, and your 12-year workmanship warranty starts at handover.

What SIPENERGY customers say
Frequently asked
Batteries in Potts Point, answered.
I live in an apartment in Potts Point. Can I get a battery?
Sometimes. A battery needs a legal spot (not inside the living area) and, if it or the panels go on common property, the owners corporation's approval. Tell us about your building and we'll tell you straight whether it's possible.
Do I need council approval for solar in Potts Point's heritage areas?
Often not. In a heritage conservation area the City of Sydney lets panels go up without a development application if they meet its guideline and the City confirms in writing before work starts. Slate roofs and heritage-listed buildings (other than individually listed terraces) don't qualify. We check your address and tell you which applies.
How much is the battery rebate?
$4,170* off an 18kWh battery installed with solar. It's the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program and it comes straight off the price on your quote, so there's nothing to claim later. On 1 January 2027 it drops to $3,490* for the same battery, and the install date decides which amount you get.
Do I need solar panels already?
The battery has to be installed with solar. If you already have panels, we can usually add a battery to them. If you don't, we put panels and a battery in together, and the solar earns its own federal rebate too.
What's a kWh, and what size battery do I need?
A kWh (kilowatt-hour) is how much energy a battery holds. 10kWh suits a lot of family homes; households with evening air con, a pool or an electric car often go larger. Your power bill shows how much you use and when, which is why we ask for one before recommending a size.
Will a battery pay for itself?
It depends on your tariff, how much power you use in the evening, and whether you have solar already. A battery stores solar from the middle of the day so the house can run on it at night instead of buying from the grid. Savings vary from home to home, and we'll give you our honest read rather than a guaranteed number.
Will a battery keep the lights on in a blackout?
It can, if the system is set up for backup. Not every installation is, so tell us if that matters to you and we'll design for it.
Which batteries does SIPENERGY install?
Sigenergy is the brand we recommend first, followed by GoodWe and Sungrow, and we fit the Tesla Powerwall 3 on request.
Who does the install in Potts Point?
Our own licensed electricians, from Sydney. SIPENERGY was started by Nicholas Sipple, an electrician, and every install carries a 12-year workmanship warranty on top of the battery maker's own.
The small print

The rebate is a federal government program, not a SIPENERGY discount. It is applied at the point of sale by SIPENERGY as the accredited installer. Amounts depend on usable battery capacity, installation date and certificate prices, and the program pays a reduced rate on capacity above 14kWh. Indicative only. The 3,000+ figure counts solar and battery systems SIPENERGY has installed for homes and businesses.
