About
Laura, a homeowner in Ringwood, VIC, was tired of watching her power bills climb every winter, especially with the heating running non-stop through the colder months.
A Ringwood family cut their electricity bill by an estimated $2,600 over winter with a Voltaris solar and battery system — real savings when heating demand was at its highest.
Over her first winter with the system, Laura saved an estimated $2,600 off her electricity bill, with the system covering an estimated 54% of her evening and overnight power needs.
Challenge
Rising winter bills and peak evening heating costs
Laura's household used more electricity than average over winter, and most of it was drawn from the grid during peak evening rates when heating demand was highest.
She wanted to cut costs and have some backup protection during outages, but wasn't sure which system size made sense for a home her size.
Solution
13.3kW solar and CQ7 Fox Ess battery, installed in under two days
Voltaris ran a free consultation, reviewed her usage patterns, and recommended a 13.3kW system with 28 × 475W Tier-1 panels paired with a 41.76kW CQ7 Fox Ess battery — delivering an estimated $2,600 in winter bill savings.
The team handled the rebate paperwork, financing, and installation from start to finish — completed in under two days.
Results
What winter savings could look like: month-by-month breakdown
This pattern is typical of what a similarly sized system can deliver: savings climbed steadily as heating use increased through the coldest months, peaked in July, and held strong even as the season eased.
For Laura, that meant lower bills right when she needed it most, without changing how she used power at home.
Note: Estimated savings based on a 13.3kW solar and 41.76kW CQ7 Fox Ess battery system in the Ringwood area over winter. Actual results vary by household usage, tariffs, and orientation.
