Lite Energy brings you top-tier solar battery systems that empower your home or business to maximize efficiency, cut costs, and stay powered no matter what. Whether you’re in the heart of Wellington or surrounding areas, we’re your go-to experts for solar battery installations and service.
What is a Solar Battery System?
A solar battery system captures and stores excess energy generated by your solar panels for later use. This means you can tap into stored power during the night, cloudy days, or even power outages. It’s the perfect way to gain energy independence while reducing reliance on the grid.
Benefits of Adding a Solar Battery to Your Home
- Energy Independence: Keep your home powered during outages or peak demand.
- Maximized Savings: Use stored energy when electricity prices are highest.
- Eco-Friendly: Reduce your carbon footprint by storing and utilizing renewable energy.
- Backup Power: Never be left in the dark with reliable energy storage solutions.
- Optimized Solar Usage: Make the most of every ray of sunshine your panels collect.

Why Invest in Solar Batteries?
Adding a solar battery to your system lets you store excess energy generated during the day and use it when you need it most—like during the evening peak or during a power outage. It’s a step toward energy independence and maximizing the use of your solar system.
That said, it’s important to be upfront about the investment. Solar batteries do come with a higher upfront cost, and the payback period is typically longer than for panels alone. However, the right setup and energy retailer can significantly reduce your electricity bills and make the investment worthwhile over time. Batteries also offer additional benefits like backup power and protection from rising energy costs, which can be particularly valuable in New Zealand’s evolving energy landscape.
If you’re considering adding a battery to your solar system, understanding your household’s energy usage and choosing the right sized battery is key. Below are some average costs for batteries for different types of set up and budget, bare in mind that most batteries these days are modular, meaning that you can add more capacity as funds allow down the line.
Please note the below costs are for Battery systems only, they do not include any panels or inverters, these are extra and indiciative costs for these can be found here
Indicative Battery System Costs
- Basic Battery System: 8 kWh Capacity Starting From $9000 Inc
This size battery system is ideal for small households with lower energy consumption, aiming to store surplus solar energy for evening use and reduce grid dependence.Provides backup power for critical loads such as lighting, internet and the fridge during short outages, enhances self-consumption of solar energy, and contributes to modest savings on electricity bills.
- Mid-Range Battery System: 16 kWh Capacity Starting from $15,500 Inc
This Size battery system is ideal for medium-sized households with moderate energy needs, looking to increase energy independence and optimize solar energy utilization. Offers longer backup power during outages, significantly reduces reliance on the grid, and increases savings by shifting energy usage to off-peak times. With this size battery system you could go without power for a few days for critical loads only or you could run the whole house for a short power cut
- Advanced Battery System: 24 kWh Capacity Starting from $21,500 Inc
This size battery system is ideal for large households or those with high energy demands, such as electric vehicle charging or home offices, seeking maximum energy independence and resilience. Provides substantial backup power, allows for complete energy autonomy during peak times, and maximizes financial returns through optimal use of stored solar energy. This size battery back-up would be suitable for an appropriately set up off-grid household application or you could run a standard household for a whole day without power.
