As solar adoption continues to rise across Australia, more homeowners are looking to add battery storage to maximise their solar investment. With rising energy costs and the push for greater energy independence, the question “What is the best battery for solar in Australia for 2025?” is more relevant than ever.
At Coffs Solar Energy, we’ve worked with a wide range of battery brands over the years, and our current top recommendation is the Sungrow SBR Battery System, especially when paired with the latest generation of Sungrow Hybrid Inverters. Here’s why Sungrow is leading the pack for Australian homes in 2025.
A battery system isn’t just a product—it’s a long-term investment that requires ongoing support and technical knowledge. One of the key reasons we recommend Sungrow is their exceptional Australian-based customer service.
Fast troubleshooting: Sungrow’s technical team is known for same-day support, which is vital for resolving any issues quickly and efficiently.
Strong warranty service: With a 10-year product warranty, Sungrow stands behind their technology. If anything goes wrong, their local warranty process is smooth and timely.
Local expertise: Having a responsive support team that understands Australian conditions gives homeowners peace of mind when investing in energy storage.
When comparing solar battery brands, support is often overlooked—but it makes a world of difference when you need help or encounter a system issue.
The Sungrow SBR battery system features a modular architecture, meaning it can be expanded as your household energy needs increase. Whether you’re:
You can easily add more battery modules without replacing the whole system. Each module adds additional usable capacity (3.2kWh per unit), and the system can scale from 9.6kWh up to 25.6kWh, giving you flexible control over your energy future.
Sungrow batteries are fully compatible with Amber Electric, one of Australia’s most innovative wholesale electricity retailers. With Amber’s SmartShift platform, you can automatically charge and discharge your battery to take advantage of fluctuating market prices.
Here’s what that means in practice:
Sell energy when prices are high – During peak demand, energy prices on the wholesale market can spike, and your Sungrow battery can sell excess energy back to the grid at these premium rates.
Charge when prices are low – When there’s excess supply (usually overnight or on windy days), your battery can recharge at a fraction of the cost.
Charge your EV smarter – If you own an electric vehicle, you can schedule your EV charging when grid prices are at their lowest, saving significantly on charging costs.
This kind of automation gives homeowners the ability to turn their battery into a revenue-generating asset, rather than just a backup power source.
Many homeowners who choose other battery brands often face this problem: their inverter and battery are made by different manufacturers, which can result in firmware compatibility issues.
That’s not the case with Sungrow.
When you pair a Sungrow Hybrid Inverter with a Sungrow SBR battery, the two components are engineered to work together from the start. This results in:
With Sungrow, you’re getting an end-to-end solution from one trusted manufacturer, which eliminates many of the technical headaches that can arise from mixed-brand systems.
At Coffs Solar Energy, we only recommend products that we believe offer the best performance, value, and support for our customers on the Mid-North Coast of NSW.
After years of experience with many brands, we believe Sungrow offers the most future-ready, user-friendly, and reliable solar battery solution for 2025 and beyond.
Here’s a quick recap of why:
If you’re considering adding a battery to your solar system or upgrading your current setup, we highly recommend the Sungrow SBR system as your first choice.
