Homes in the Waverley council area
What we check on a home in the Waverley council area.
Every house is different, but homes in the Waverley council area raise the same few questions. We answer them on the site visit, before you see a price.
Salt air at the beach
Some makers reduce warranty cover close to the sea. We check your home's distance from the water against the maker's manual and site the battery out of the sea breeze.
Apartment blocks
A battery on common property needs the owners corporation's approval, and the install standard limits where it can go. Tell us about your building and we'll tell you straight whether it's possible.
Terraces and semis
Small roof faces and tight access are common here. We tell you how many panels the roof will take and where a battery can legally go before we quote.
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.

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 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.

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 the Waverley council area, answered.
I live a few streets from Bondi Beach. Will salt air affect the warranty?
It can. Some makers reduce warranty cover within a set distance of the sea, or require the battery to be sheltered. We check the manual for the battery we quote against your address and install it where the warranty 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 the Waverley council area?
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 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.
