Sunbank Solar Batteries Questions & Answers
Verified[Content Removed] I have solar panels and a Hive battery. How do I use this system to power my home when the grid goes down?
Regards, [Name Removed]
Hi Paul, thank you for your question. Hive batteries can provide Blackout Protection, which allows them to kick in when the grid goes down. This feature needs to be wired in, and there may be other changes required like upgrading switchboard, etc. before being blackout ready. I will arrange for our team to give you a call soon and talk to you about getting this quoted and activated.
Thanks.

Where do I find my order number?
What if my meter boxes already inside my licked gate and the new battery is put next to it Can I get a message before authorised people come to check it
Firstly they have to notify you if they wish to enter your property and secondly they monitor the battery condition performance remotely so they should not have to enter your property unless there is a problem.
Thankyou I was reading the conditions part of the paperwork
Does anyone know what type of batteries are on offer

Hi, I have been trying to speak to someone all week and have had no response to any of my phone or email messages. I'd appreciate a call back asap please. Regards, Kate
Hi Kate, thanks for your message. I have sent you a private message for your contact details to have someone get in touch with you ASAP.
Good morning, could you tell me when the "virtual power plant" will be on line. I was told it would be up and running on the 1st of August.
Hi John, thanks for your question regarding the launch of our Energy Plan. Our intention had been to launch our Energy Plan on August 1st however we are experiencing some slight delays due to the COVID-19 and the further lockdown restrictions in Victoria. We are now in the final stages of completing the Energy Plan which we hope to launch late-August. If you have signed up to the pilot program already, you will receive an update email in the coming week, so keep an eye out for that. If you have any other questions please feel free to get in touch with us on 1300 28 29 30 or email us at hello(at)mysunbank.com.au
can I get a rebate on a battery system if I already had the rebates on my solar panels?
My rebate for my solar panels was from the federal government so I was able to get a rebate on my batteries as it was a state rebate. So it depends on whether or not your solar panels were federal or state.
both
Hi Kaz, thanks for your question. If you have received a state rebate for a panel system already you won't be able to then claim a state rebate for a battery, for example in Victoria you can only claim on rebate as part of the solar homes program. As Elizabeth says though you may be able to claim rebates if one was federal and one was state. If you would like to discuss your eligibility or what you may be able to claim, feel free to call us anytime on 1300 28 29 30.
Hi Guys, I have had a mail in the post regarding a solar battery energy plan. Is it possible for me to know what sort of rates you have for a Tesla PW II? I understand this could be of case to case, if I am a resident in Berwick (3806) and I have a 6.6 KW system what sort of prices am I looking before any rebate being applied.
I received a letter today re the battery program. How many of the 1,000 battery offers are still available and what is the exact discount. If I receive an unsolicited offer, I want details
Please contact Sunbank Solar directly at the number listed in the letter you received.
As I said, no thanks without any details.
Hi SLR, thank you for your question. The cost and discount for an installation will vary depending on your individual installation, as not all solar systems are the same. We'd be happy to give you a quick quote, we've just sent you a private message, so at your earliest convenience, we'd love to hear back from you.
Whatever they say, whatever they quote, whatever they promise - just make sure you check and/or get an alternative quote from a battery supplier in your local area to ensure you are not being ripped off by an interstate supplier.
Hi guys, I just received a letter in the mail regarding solar batteries. I already have a 6.6kw solar system on the roof but I am keen on the idea of a battery as well.
I have a few questions though.
What size is the battery that you are offering? Is it an upfront payment or is it available through financing? What is the price and expected payback period?
Hi Rhys, thank you for your question. The cost and size for an installation will vary depending on your individual installation, as not all solar systems are the same. We'd be happy to give you a quick quote, we've just sent you a private message, so at your earliest convenience, we'd love to hear back from you.
