Solar & Battery Services
From your first solar installation to battery storage and system upgrades, our team can help with the full electrical picture.
Residential Solar Installation
Solar PV systems planned around roof space, shading, energy usage and the property’s electrical requirements. We help with panel and inverter selection, installation and commissioning.
Enquire now →Home Battery Storage
Store suitable excess solar energy for later. We assess capacity, inverter compatibility, installation position, monitoring and available backup functions.
Enquire now →Solar & Battery Packages
Plan panels, inverters and battery storage as one coordinated system, with practical advice on capacity, equipment and future energy needs.
Enquire now →Inverters & Upgrades
We assess existing installations and discuss suitable inverter replacements, additional panels and battery-ready system upgrades.
Enquire now →Servicing & Fault Finding
For underperforming systems, monitoring issues and inverter faults, we can inspect the equipment and recommend next steps.
Enquire now →Commercial Solar
Solar solutions for suitable business properties, with attention to daytime electricity demand, roof suitability and site requirements.
Enquire now →Use more of the solar power you generate.
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. A compatible battery can store some of your excess generation so you can use it later, including in the evening.
- Store suitable excess solar energy
- Use stored electricity after sunset
- Explore backup options where compatible
- Monitor generation, storage and consumption
- Plan for future household energy needs
Savings, backup functions and performance depend on system design, equipment, electricity usage and tariffs.

Solar & Battery Incentives
Eligible installations may qualify for Australian Government incentives. The value and eligibility depend on your equipment, installation date and the rules that apply.
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
Eligible rooftop solar installations can receive an upfront financial benefit under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. Certificate quantities depend on factors including system size, location and installation year; certificate prices also vary.
Learn more from the Clean Energy Regulator ↗Cheaper Home Batteries Program
Eligible battery systems may qualify for a significant upfront discount through the federal program. The discount depends on the system’s eligible capacity, applicable STC factor, certificate value and installation date. Capacity-based tiers introduced in May 2026 affect the calculation.
Check the current program rules ↗Incentives are not guaranteed. Confirm current eligibility, approved equipment, accreditation and final discount at quote time. This section should be reviewed whenever program rules change.

Solar & Battery FAQs
Is solar worth installing on the Gold Coast?
Solar can reduce electricity purchased from the grid, particularly where you use electricity during the day. Value depends on usage, roof suitability, tariffs, installation cost and system performance.
What size solar system do I need?
Common residential sizes include approximately 6.6 kW, 10 kW and 13.3 kW, but the right size depends on your energy usage, available roof space and applicable network requirements.
Can I add a battery to existing solar panels?
Often, yes. We first check your existing inverter, system configuration and electrical setup to determine compatible options.
Will my battery work in a blackout?
Not automatically. Backup requires compatible equipment, appropriate wiring and a system designed and configured for backup operation.
How much battery capacity do I need?
It depends on how much excess solar you generate, your evening electricity use, your tariff and your goals. A larger battery is not always the best investment.
Can I install solar panels and a battery together?
Yes. Planning both together can help with compatibility, overall design and installation requirements.
Are government incentives available?
Eligible solar installations may receive STC-related discounts. Eligible batteries may qualify under the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program. Check the current program rules and your quote for the actual amount.
Do solar panels need maintenance?
Solar systems generally need limited routine maintenance, but monitoring and periodic professional inspections can help identify faults and performance issues.
Can I monitor my solar and battery on my phone?
Many modern systems support app-based monitoring. Features depend on the equipment selected and connectivity.
Which areas do you service?
SGS Electrical is based in Ashmore and works across the Gold Coast and surrounding areas, subject to project requirements. Contact us to confirm availability.
