About

Priya, a homeowner in Frankston, VIC, was watching evening peak rates eat into her budget — dinner, heating, and screens all stacking up after 4pm when solar production had faded.

A Frankston household cut an estimated $2,150 off their electricity costs over six months with a Voltaris solar and battery system sized for south-east Melbourne evening demand. See our Melbourne south-east solar and battery installs.

Over six months with the system, Priya saved an estimated $2,150 off her electricity bill, with the system covering an estimated 52% of her evening power needs.

Challenge

Evening peak demand on a busy Frankston household

Priya's family used most of their electricity after school and work — exactly when retail peak rates applied — so daytime solar alone left a large evening gap.

She wanted a system large enough to cover that window, with clear rebate and install timelines so the household wasn't left waiting through another high-bill season.

Solution

13.3kW solar and Fox Ess SBR 25kWh, installed in two days

Voltaris ran a free consultation, reviewed her evening load profile, and recommended a 13.3kW system with Tier-1 panels paired with a Fox Ess SBR 25kWh battery — delivering an estimated $2,150 in six-month bill savings. Explore solar battery installation across Melbourne's south-east.

The team handled the rebate paperwork, financing, and installation from start to finish — completed in a two-day install.

Results

What evening peak savings could look like: month-by-month breakdown

This pattern is typical of what a similarly sized Frankston system can deliver: savings built as the battery took on more after-dark load, peaked when evening demand was highest, and held through the period.

For Priya, that meant lower peak bills without changing how her family used power at home.
