Beyond the bill: How home batteries help build a better energy future

Discover how Flow Power’s home batteries cut bills, store solar, and support a cleaner, more reliable energy future for Australian households.

11 November 2025, 4 mins

Home batteries systems in Australia are changing how households think about energy, with installations growing rapidly as more people look to store their own solar power. Since the federal subsidy launch, more than 43,000 home batteries have been installed nationwide – averaging around 888 per working day. Sure, solar battery storage can help lower your bills, but the real power of a home battery system goes far beyond that. 

At Flow Power, we’re helping households take control of their energy, use more renewables, and support a cleaner, more stable grid. Here’s how your home battery can make a real difference. 

Why are more homes turning to batteries?

With solar panels now installed on over three million Aussie rooftops, it’s no surprise homeowners are adding battery storage to the mix. A home battery stores excess solar energy for later – so you can use your own clean power even after the sun sets. 

You’ll reduce grid reliance, gain energy independence, and keep your home running when demand peaks – depending on your system’s size and setup. With Flow Power’s smart energy tools, the Flow App helps you see the best times to use, store, or export energy, so you can make informed choices to save more and support renewables.

How do batteries go beyond bill savings?

Every home battery contributes to a more reliable and resilient energy network. When your battery stores excess solar and uses it later during high-demand periods, it helps ease pressure on the grid and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Whether you’re using your stored energy or exporting it back to the grid, your battery plays a valuable role in supporting a cleaner, more stable energy future. 

That means your battery isn’t just helping your household – it’s supporting the integration of renewable energy while keeping the grid stable and reliable. With Flow Power’s technology, your system works in sync with renewable energy in real time, making the most of every watt. 

Why choose Flow Power for your home battery?

Not all batteries are created equal. Flow Power’s home battery solutions combine smart technology, renewable matching, and expert support – helping you get more value and impact from your solar investment.  

With feed-in tariffs dropping across Australia, adding a battery lets you store and use more of your own solar energy instead of sending it back to the grid, increasing your savings and energy independence. Whether you want lower bills, greater control, or to be part of Australia’s renewable energy future, Flow Power can help you make it happen. 

 

Is a home battery right for you?

 

If you already have solar panels, use most of your energy in the evening, or want to reduce your carbon footprint, a residential battery could be a perfect fit. Beyond saving on bills, batteries can also provide backup power during blackouts and protect you from high price events by using stored energy when electricity costs spike. 

Our team can help assess your energy use, recommend the right setup, and guide you through installation – so you can start saving and supporting renewables faster.
