Quick answer: kW (kilowatts) measures power: how fast electricity is being produced or used at a moment in time. kWh (kilowatt-hours) measures energy: how much has been produced or used over time. Your solar system is named by its kW size, your electricity bill and your battery are measured in kWh, and a 1kW appliance running for one hour uses 1kWh. Solar quotes are full of numbers, and kW and kWh sit side by side. They look almost identical and measure different things. Once

Quick answer: Sunboost offers battery packages in three sizes: 14kWh, 28kWh and 42kWh. Most single-family households cover a typical evening with the 14kWh package. Larger households, higher evening usage, or an EV charging overnight usually points to the 28kWh package, and the 42kWh package generally suits larger homes or households wanting to cover most of their usage with minimal reliance on the grid. Start with your usage, not the battery size The most useful number isn’t

Larger storage means more energy capacity, more backup potential, and less reliance on the grid. But after the recent federal cheaper home battery program changes, solar battery sizing has become far more important than simply choosing the largest system available. A battery that is too large for your home may: Stay partially unused most days Struggle to fully charge Deliver slower financial returns Increase costs without improving savings significantly This guide explains ho

More homeowners are now considering a solar battery upgrade in 2026 than ever before. The reason is simple: electricity prices during the evening continue to rise, while solar export payments have dropped significantly across many NSW energy retailers. In the past, many households benefited mainly from exporting excess solar energy to the grid. But with lower feed-in tariff NSW rates, homeowners are now more focused on storing and using their own solar power instead. At the

There’s a lot of confusion around the federal solar battery rebate in Australia. And honestly, it’s not surprising. Rebates evolve over time. Media headlines oversimplify details. And different installers often explain things differently. The result? Homeowners end up relying on assumptions instead of facts. This blog clears up by separating solar battery rebate myths from reality so you can make decisions based on how the system actually works. Misconception #1: “It’s a C

Most homeowners today aren’t asking, “What is a battery?” They’re asking something far more practical: “Is a 14kWh solar battery system actually right for my home; especially after the recent incentive changes?” With evolving rebates, rising electricity prices, and lower solar export rates, choosing the right battery size has become more important than ever. This guide isn’t here to sell you a battery; it’s here to help you decide whether a 14kWh solar battery system fits yo

If you already have solar panels, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating. You’re generating clean energy during the day, but your electricity bills are still high. That’s because the way solar works in Australia has changed. Lower feed-in tariffs, higher evening electricity prices, and rising overall energy costs mean solar alone doesn’t deliver the same savings it once did. This is why more homeowners are now looking at a solar battery system; not to generate more e
