If you’re searching for a battery installer in Melbourne you can actually trust, you’ve found a family business that specialises in exactly this. Home battery installation is our flagship service — the thing we’re known for, the work we love, and the area where accredited expertise matters most.
Why Home Battery Storage Matters
Melbourne households with solar panels typically export most of their solar power to the grid for a few cents per kilowatt-hour — then buy electricity back in the evening at many times that price. A home battery closes that gap. It stores your cheap daytime solar energy and delivers it when you actually need it: cooking dinner, running heating, charging devices overnight.
The result is a dramatic cut in the power you buy from the grid, real protection against rising electricity prices, and — with the right system design — backup power that keeps your essentials running through a blackout. With government incentives currently supporting home battery uptake, solar battery installation in Melbourne has never made more financial sense.
Installation Done Properly — Not Just Quickly
A battery is a serious piece of electrical equipment that will sit on your wall for the next decade or more. How it’s installed matters as much as what you buy. As CEC accredited battery installers and a Registered Electrical Contractor, we follow the Australian standards for battery location, clearances, protection and signage to the letter — because shortcuts in battery installation aren’t a risk worth taking with your family’s home, and we wouldn’t take them with ours.
We’re not a sales company that subcontracts the installation to whoever’s available. The electrician who quotes your home battery installation is the A-Grade electrician who installs it. That’s the advantage of a family-owned and operated business: accountability, from first phone call to final handover.
Honest Advice First
Not every home needs a battery today — and we’ll tell you if yours doesn’t. When you book a free quote, we look at your actual electricity usage, your existing solar (or plans for solar), and what you want the system to do. Then we recommend a right-sized system from brands we trust, explain the numbers in plain English, and let you decide. No pressure, no inflated savings claims, no lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does home battery installation cost in Melbourne?
It depends on the battery size, brand and how your home is wired, which is why we don't publish one-size-fits-all prices. We provide a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your home, including advice on any rebates you may be eligible for.
Which battery brand is best for my home?
There's no single best battery — it depends on your energy usage, your solar system, whether you want blackout backup, and your budget. We install FOX, SOFAR, Pylontech, Solinteg, Deye and GoodWe systems, and we'll recommend the one that genuinely fits your situation.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In most cases, yes. Depending on your existing inverter, we'll either install a battery compatible with your current setup or add a hybrid inverter as part of the installation. We assess this during your free on-site quote.
Will a battery keep my power on during a blackout?
It can — if the system is designed for backup. Not every battery installation includes blackout protection by default, so tell us it matters to you and we'll design the system so your essential circuits stay on when the grid goes down.
Are you accredited to install batteries?
Yes. Lion Heart Electrical is CEC accredited for battery storage and solar, and all work is carried out by a fully licensed A-Grade electrician and Registered Electrical Contractor. Every installation comes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety.
