Local success stories
Manningham residents are going all-electric and reaping the rewards. Read about how they made the switch, as well as their top tips.
Ken and Joan from Donvale
For country-raised Ken and his wife Joan, purchasing solar and a battery system simply made good sense. Now, the Donvale residents are saving more with stable renewable energy.
“Our aim was to improve our home’s efficiency and reduce our reliance on the grid,” explains Ken.
While the couple initially dreamed of being off-grid, they found a powerful alternative: a well-insulated home with rooftop solar and a battery system.
For Ken, who comes from the country and doesn’t identify as an environmentalist, it was clear that “this is the way we must go.”
So, in 2023, Ken and Joan upgraded their 1kW solar panels to a 10kW system and also purchased a Sungrow battery through the Solar Savers scheme.
The battery offers three-phase backup protection, which keeps their home steady if there’s a power outage or problem with the grid. They can also add extra units to increase the battery’s capacity – if their energy needs grow or they add more appliances.
The impact? Less grid outages and more reliable energy. Plus, with an interest-free loan from Solar Savers, the upgrade was more affordable.
“While the total cost was around $20,000, I only paid $7,000 upfront, with the rest on an interest-free loan. It’s a great deal that’s made a huge difference for us.”
