8.075kW Solar With 27.84kWh Battery Designed For Wollert Homes
Wollert’s growing new-build homes are bringing higher electricity demand, while lower feed-in tariffs make exporting excess solar less valuable. The homeowner’s goal was to reduce grid reliance by generating solar power during the day and storing it for use after sunset.
Green Electric Solutions designed and installed an 8.075kW solar system with 27.84kWh of FoxESS battery storage, creating a high-capacity solution for daytime generation, evening consumption and future VPP participation.
Tailored Solar Solution: 8.075kW Solar With 27.84kWh Battery
Generally, a new-build home, the property relied on grid electricity, increasing energy costs and limiting the homeowner’s ability to use solar power after sunset. But in this case, the homeowner made a smart decision to install an 8kWh solar system with Green Electric Solutions, reducing grid reliance and lowering household energy bills. This combination was designed to maximize solar generation and store excess electricity for peak-hour use.The 8.075kW solar array provides substantial daytime generation, while the 27.84kWh battery allows a significant portion of that energy to be retained for evening and overnight consumption instead of being exported to the grid.
| System Component | Installation Details |
|---|---|
| Solar Panels | 17 × 475W Trina Solar TSM-475NEG9RH.28 |
| Total Solar Capacity | 8.075kW |
| Hybrid Inverter | FoxESS KH9.9 |
| Inverter AC Output | 9.9kW |
| Maximum PV Input | 20kW |
| Battery | FoxESS CQ7-L4(w) (4 × 6.96kWh) |
| Battery Capacity | 27.84kWh |
The system is estimated to generate approximately 10,477kWh of solar electricity annually, with projected annual savings of $1,674.34.

Solar Installation in Wollert – Professionally Installed, Electrically Integrated & Commissioned
The installation involved integrating the new solar PV and battery energy storage system with the property’s existing electrical infrastructure. The existing switchboard was modified to accommodate dedicated PV/ESS circuit protection, isolation and switching equipment, with associated cabling terminated and organised within the enclosure.
A wall-mounted solar inverter/energy management unit was installed externally and electrically connected to the switchboard and battery system. The battery storage unit was positioned alongside the inverter, with dedicated connections provided for energy storage and system operation. An external ESS/PV electrical enclosure was also installed to house associated protection and connection equipment. Warning labels and electrical identification were applied, with the system arranged for safe isolation, protection and integration with the household supply.
Store More Solar Energy; Use Less Grid Power After Sunset in Wollert
The large battery capacity is particularly important for increasing solar self-consumption. Instead of exporting excess daytime generation at a relatively low feed-in rate, surplus electricity can be stored and used later for household loads such as cooking, heating and cooling, appliances, and EV charging. The FoxESS system is also VPP-capable, allowing the homeowner to consider participation in an eligible virtual power plant program. VPP participation is subject to the requirements and terms of the selected provider.
