Battery storage in Ringwood
The suburb's population of around 18,000 occupies a mix of post-war brick homes in the established residential streets north of the Maroondah Highway, alongside more recent housing in the newer development areas that have grown around the Ringwood town centre as the suburb has been progressively upgraded as a major suburban activity centre.

The local case
Why Ringwood homeowners choose battery storage
Beat Ringwood's evening peak
Melbourne homes use most of their power after dark. A battery runs Ringwood evenings on stored solar instead of peak-rate grid power.
Ride out the outages
Storms and heat events knock out supply across Melbourne. A backup-capable battery keeps Ringwood essentials running when the street goes dark.

Solar Battery Storage for Ringwood Homes
Ringwood households with established solar systems that were installed in the early uptake period, often 3 to 5 kilowatt systems from 2012 to 2016, are at a natural decision point. The feed-in tariffs that justified the original solar system have declined, and the economic case for adding a battery has strengthened as the spread between import and export rates has widened. We assess the actual output of the existing system before recommending battery capacity, ensuring the battery is sized to real generation rather than the original rated output.
AusNet Grid Connections for Ringwood Battery Installations
Ringwood is within AusNet's distribution zone, and battery installations require a grid connection application to AusNet. AusNet's eastern zone covers Ringwood, Mooroolbark, Lilydale, and the broader Maroondah and Yarra Ranges corridor. The technical requirements for battery grid connections in AusNet's zone include specific protection settings and export limit arrangements that we configure during installation.
VPP Enrolment for Ringwood Households
Ringwood is within AusNet's network zone, and VPP programs are available to households with compatible battery systems through enrolled energy retailers. VPP enrolment allows the retailer to dispatch small amounts of stored energy from your battery during grid peak periods, with credits on your electricity bill in return. For Ringwood households with well-sized batteries, VPP participation adds a supplementary layer of value on top of the primary self-consumption benefit.

Tesla, Enphase, Sigenergy, AlphaESS and more. We are not tied to one brand, so the recommendation fits you, not a supplier.
Supply-only or full install
Want your own electrician to fit it? Supply-only is fine. Prefer it handled end to end? We design, install and commission.

We set systems up so you can join a Virtual Power Plant and earn credits when the grid draws on your stored power.
