MEA member 23598 · QLD licence 92489
Add a home battery to a new or existing solar system in Caloundra and across the Sunshine Coast, designed and installed by an SAA accredited team and signed off by a licensed Queensland electrician. We fit batteries from brands like Tesla, BYD, Fox ESS and GoodWe, sized to your real usage rather than the biggest battery a rebate allows. We handle the federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate and any solar STC paperwork, the grid connection and switchboard work, with a fixed price before any work begins.
Fox ESS CQ7 Battery Retrofit in Two Sizes
Already have solar? Add serious storage to it. Six or seven Fox ESS CQ7 modules with a Fox ESS 9.99kW single phase hybrid inverter, fully installed, with the federal battery rebate applied up front in your written quote.
What's included
Everything in the retrofit package.
- 6 or 7 Fox ESS CQ7 battery modules (41.76kWh or 48.72kWh usable)
- 1 x Fox ESS KH9.9 9.99kW single phase hybrid inverter
- Package applies to homes with a single phase supply
- Retrofit connection to your existing compliant solar PV system
- Standard installation (battery and inverter within 10m of the main switchboard)
- Testing and commissioning
- Federal battery rebate (STCs) applied up front in the price
Optional add on, not part of the base deal. We check your switchboard, circuits and suitability first, then size backup to suit: whether that's whole home or essential circuits only (fridge, lights, internet) depends on inverter output and your switchboard.
Conditions & what may be extra
- Existing solar PV system must be compliant and suitable for retrofit, confirmed by inspection before connection
- Backup power (EPS) is not included. Every switchboard and every set of protected circuits is different, so backup is designed and priced for your home after we have seen the board
- Switchboard must meet current requirements; upgrades are extra if required
- RCBO upgrades are extra if required
- Standard install assumes the battery and inverter are within 10m of the main switchboard ($50 per metre beyond); wall penetrations, difficult access, or rectifying noncompliant existing wiring/solar are extra
- DNSP / export limitation works are extra if required
- Final system design is confirmed from your photos, or at a design visit if one is needed, and is subject to DNSP requirements, STC eligibility, existing PV compatibility and compliance checks
- Prices apply to installs completed by 31 December 2026; the federal battery rebate steps down on 1 January 2027

The federal battery rebate reduces on 1 January 2027. A battery installed and commissioned before then gets the current, higher discount.
The Cheaper Home Batteries program discounts your install up front, and the discount value steps down over time. The same battery costs more out of pocket after each step down, and the discount follows the install and commissioning date, not the quote date. Install dates book out ahead of each step down. Your written quote shows the rebate applied, and the discount you receive is the one in force on your install date.
Own your power. Spread the cost of your battery with Brighte Green Loan finance, with the federal rebate applied up front.
Finance is provided by Brighte Capital Pty Ltd, not Nuvolt Electrical. Brighte Green Loan from 9.49% p.a. (comparison rate 10.98% p.a.), 7 year term. Your actual rate and repayments depend on the amount financed, the term and your credit assessment, so they may be higher. Subject to approval. T&Cs and fees apply.
