A mate's recommendation, and double the capacity for the same money
Problem to Solve
Bill lives in Punchbowl, Sydney. As a pensioner with his wife working part-time, Bill manages household costs carefully. When electricity bills kept climbing, he started looking for a way to bring them under control.
His reasons for going ahead with a battery system were practical and straightforward: reduce ongoing electricity costs, have backup power available when needed, and be ready to charge an electric vehicle downthe track.
The Installation
The VoltX Energy team moved quickly once Bill confirmed he was ready to proceed. The full installation was completed within a single day, taking around four to five hours. Bill described the team as very fast and very efficient throughout.
Why VoltX Energy
Bill's confidence in VoltX Energy came through a trusted source. A friend of his had spent time researching battery companies and different systems before going ahead with his own installation. Bill saw the results firsthand and decided to follow his friend's recommendation. That personal endorsement was the deciding factor.
Price was also a clear consideration. Bill noted that for the same battery capacity, other companies charge significantly more. The value VoltX Energy offered, particularly at the time he purchased under the government incentive, made the decision straightforward.
The System
| BATTERY | VoltX Energy 50 kWh |
| INVERTER | 10 kW single phase |
| SUPPLIER | VoltX Energy |
| LOCATION | Punchbowl, Sydney NSW |
| GRID TOP-UP | Programmed to recharge from the grid for three hours each night at low peak rate |
| FUTURE READINESS | System selected with EV charging in mind |
Getting Set Up with the App
After installation, Bill downloaded the VoltX Energy app but was initially unsure how to use it. He called VoltX Energy and was connected with a member of the team who walked him through the app step by step and helped him configure everything. With that support, the app was up and running the way he needed it.
Bill has since programmed the system to top up from the grid for three hours each night during off-peak hours, which brings the battery back to 100% charge. The 50 kWh capacity means the household runs through the full day and often into the following day on a single charge.
The Results
Bill got into the battery program at the right time. Under the government incentive, he secured his 50-kWh system for $5,000. He noted that since then, the incentive has been scaled back and 25 kWh systems cost $4,000, meaning his system at double the capacity for $5,000 represented strong value.
His 50-kWh battery covers his household's electricity needs through the day and into the next, with the nightly grid top-up keeping the system fully charged at minimal cost.
