Battery storage and home backup on the Gold Coast
A home battery lets you store the solar energy you generate during the day and use it at night, when power from the grid costs the most. With the right setup, it can also keep your lights, fridge, internet and other essentials running during a blackout. Ampra Energy Group designs and installs battery systems for Gold Coast homes and businesses, whether you are adding storage to existing solar or installing a complete new system.
We start by looking at your electricity usage, your solar generation and what you want the battery to do. Some customers want to maximise savings, others want backup for storm season, and many want both. We then recommend a battery size and brand, explain which circuits can be backed up, and show how the system will work with your existing inverter and switchboard.
How much does a home battery cost on the Gold Coast?
A home battery installed by Ampra Energy Group costs roughly $7,700 to $13,200 for a 16 kWh battery, $11,000 to $16,500 for 24 kWh and $14,300 to $19,800 for 32 kWh, including GST. Where you land in each range depends mostly on the battery brand. We confirm a fixed price after a free assessment, including any battery rebate you are eligible for.
| Battery size | Typical installed price (incl. GST) |
|---|---|
| 16 kWh | $7,700 to $13,200 |
| 24 kWh | $11,000 to $16,500 |
| 32 kWh | $14,300 to $19,800 |
How much do solar and a battery cost together?
Installing solar panels and a battery together usually costs $13,200 to $16,500 for a 6.6 kW system with a 16 kWh battery, $16,500 to $19,800 for 10 kW with 24 kWh, and $22,000 to $27,500 for 13 kW with 32 kWh, including GST. As with batteries on their own, the brands you choose make the biggest difference.
| Package | Typical installed price (incl. GST) |
|---|---|
| 6.6 kW solar + 16 kWh battery | $13,200 to $16,500 |
| 10 kW solar + 24 kWh battery | $16,500 to $19,800 |
| 13 kW solar + 32 kWh battery | $22,000 to $27,500 |

Which battery brands do you install?
We install Sigenergy, Sungrow and GoodWe batteries and hybrid inverters. Sigenergy’s modular SigenStor system is popular for whole-home backup, while Sungrow and GoodWe give excellent value. We recommend a brand based on your budget, how much backup you want and the solar you already have.
Full and partial home backup
Partial backup covers selected essential circuits, such as lighting, refrigeration and power points in key rooms. Whole-home backup supplies most or all of the house, which may need a switchboard upgrade and a larger battery or inverter. We explain the options clearly so you know exactly what will keep working when the grid goes down.
Installation standards and compliance
Battery systems in Queensland must be installed by licensed electricians in line with the Electrical Safety Act 2002 (Qld), AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 5139, the Australian standard for battery energy storage systems. AS/NZS 5139 sets rules for where batteries can be located, including clearances from doors, windows and habitable rooms, along with fire protection and signage. Grid-connected systems also require approval from Energex, and we manage the application for you.
Once installed, we test the system, provide a certificate of testing and compliance and set up the monitoring app so you can see your battery’s charge, solar production and grid usage at any time. We also check your eligibility for current government battery incentives and include them in your quote.
