Federal battery support — off the invoice when you qualify.
Best rate on the first ~14 kWh. That rate drops from 1 January 2027 (commissioning date locks it). No cowboy countdown. Just clarity.

Already got panels? Often yes. Untapped Energy designs Gold Coast solar battery retrofits on the system you’ve got — Sungrow hybrid or GoodWe ESA, sized to evening use. No new panels required if the roof is doing its job.
Full-home backup — where the design supports it. Some Gold Coast, Logan and Brisbane jobs are whole-home. Others cover selected circuits. We’ll be clear what’s backed up vs not. Backup is a separate call from covering 4–9pm.

Screen first. Don’t guess.
Some older QLD 44c Solar Bonus setups can be affected if a battery discharges or exports the wrong way. We check before any battery pitch so you don’t risk a rate that’s still paying.
