How solar panels and battery storage work together
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. Electricity produced by the system can first support eligible household loads while solar generation is available.
Where compatible battery storage is installed, eligible surplus solar energy can be stored for use later, such as during the evening or overnight.
This is why solar generation and battery capacity should be designed together rather than treating them as completely separate products.
- Solar generates electricity during daylight
- Your property consumes available solar first
- Compatible surplus solar can charge the battery
- Stored energy can be used later
- Grid electricity remains available when required
Why combine solar panels with a home battery?
Store surplus solar
A compatible battery can store eligible excess solar generation that may otherwise be exported to the grid.
Use solar energy later
Stored electricity may help supply household loads after solar production reduces in the evening.
Reduce grid dependence
Using more of your own solar generation may reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid.
Backup options
Selected systems can provide backup capability when correctly designed and installed with compatible equipment.
Future energy demand
Solar and batteries can form part of a broader strategy for EV charging and household electrification.
Smart monitoring
Compatible systems can provide visibility into solar production, battery charging and household energy use.

Match solar generation with your storage requirements
There is no universal battery size for every solar system. Storage requirements should be based on your actual electricity consumption and the amount of solar energy available for charging.
| Solar capacity | Possible daily generation* | Typical use | Battery consideration | Learn more |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6kW | Approx. 24–30kWh | Small to average household | Storage depends on evening consumption | View 6.6kW |
| 10kW | Approx. 38–48kWh | Larger household | Strong candidate for medium-to-large storage | View 10kW |
| 13kW | Approx. 50–65kWh | High-use home, pool or EV | May support larger battery configurations | View 13kW |
| 20kW+ | Approx. 80–100kWh+ | Large residential or business application | Requires detailed storage assessment | View 20kW |

Residential solar and battery systems
A residential solar and battery system should be designed around the way your household consumes electricity rather than simply selecting the largest available battery.
ADS Solar’s residential solar solutions can be combined with compatible battery storage when appropriate.
Customers can compare 6.6kW solar , 10kW solar and 13kW solar systems before selecting a battery configuration.

What should be considered when sizing solar and a battery?
Electricity usage
Daily and seasonal electricity consumption helps determine appropriate solar and storage capacity.
Solar generation
Battery capacity should reflect how much surplus solar energy may realistically be available for charging.
Evening demand
Electricity use after sunset is an important consideration when determining useful storage capacity.
Backup requirements
Backup capability depends on battery technology, inverter configuration and the circuits selected for backup.
Future EV charging
An electric vehicle can significantly increase household electricity consumption and should be considered early.
Future electrification
Electric hot water, heating, cooking, pools and other loads can change your future electricity profile.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to install solar and a battery together?
Installing solar and battery storage together can make it easier to design compatible generation, inverter and storage capacity as one integrated system. Solar can also be installed first and a compatible battery added later.
What size battery do I need for my solar system?
Battery size depends on electricity consumption, evening energy demand, available surplus solar, backup requirements and future loads. Solar-system capacity alone does not determine the correct battery size.
What size solar system is suitable for a battery?
Many battery systems can be paired with different solar capacities depending on system compatibility. ADS Solar offers options ranging from 6.6kW through 10kW , 13kW and larger systems.
Which solar battery brands does ADS Solar offer?
ADS Solar provides options including Tesla Powerwall 3 , Anker SOLIX X1 , Sungrow , Sigenergy and AlphaESS .
