Select battery size: Smaller households may need 10 to 15 kWh; bigger households may need 20 kWh or more.
Evaluate system conditions: Verify single-phase or three-phase supply, environmental conditions and rebate eligibility.
Check solar output and export limits: Bigger batteries increase self-use and savings.
Installation and support: Make sure a licensed installer, Sen Solar, handles installation for warranty and ongoing support.
