There are many options out there in the market and only four that Helcro install and recommend. Given that the Australian battery market is intensely competitive in 2025, it’s good to narrow it down. Of the four we work with, each brand offers distinct advantages:
Which Battery Should You Choose?
Each brand has different strengths:
- Sungrow: The proven favourite with the most installations and best support network across Australia
- Sigenergy: The fast-growing newcomer with smart AI technology and competitive prices
- iStore: Australian-made with excellent safety features and local support teams
- sonnen: Premium quality with technology that lets you earn money from your battery
Now is a Great Time to Buy:
The Australian government offers rebates through the Cheaper Home Batteries Program – you can get up to $17,500 back depending on your battery size. With electricity bills going up every year, a battery can pay for itself by storing cheap solar power during the day and using it at night instead of buying expensive grid power.
All four brands let you start with a smaller battery and add more modules later, so you don’t have to buy a huge system all at once.
Perfect Timing for Australian Buyers:
With government rebates still available through programs like the Cheaper Home Batteries Program (up to $17,500 for eligible systems) and electricity prices continuing to rise, 2025 is an excellent year to add battery storage to your solar system. It’s never been so affordable.
All four brands offer modular, scalable solutions that allow you to start small and expand as your needs grow, making battery storage more accessible than ever for Melbourne homes.
