26.68 kWh Alpha ESS Battery with Hybrid Inverter Installation In Mickleham
Green Electric Solutions completed another residential solar battery installation in Mickleham, integrating 26.68 kWh of usable battery storage with a hybrid inverter and the property’s existing solar PV system. The upgrade enables more effective use of solar energy generated during the day, helping reduce reliance on grid electricity, manage household energy costs, and make better use of the home’s existing solar investment.
Upgrade Your Existing Solar System With 26.68 kWh Battery Storage In Mickleham
Our main challenge is to understand the homeowner needs and the offering the best available battery solutions to make a batter use of the solar system so we suggest them 26.68 kWh Alpha ESS Battery.
Without battery storage, surplus solar electricity may be exported to the grid, depending on household demand and the system's configuration. A suitably designed battery system can store available surplus energy for later use, potentially helping homeowners increase solar self-consumption and reduce electricity purchases when their panels are producing little or no power.

How We Installed an Alpha ESS Battery System Safely And Professionally in Mickleham
The Mickleham solar battery installation was carefully planned to integrate the new storage system with the property’s existing solar infrastructure. The modular battery units were positioned on a level concrete pad, while the inverter and junction enclosure were securely mounted to the brickwork. Cable routes were kept short and organised, with separate conduits for power, DC and communications wiring to support clear identification and orderly installation.
Inside the outdoor-rated switchboard, dedicated circuit protection and a lockable isolation breaker were installed for safe electrical isolation. Earthing connections, cable terminations and equipment identification labels were incorporated into the documented installation. Required signage identified the battery location, electrical hazards and solar generation equipment, supporting safe operation and maintenance.
The hybrid inverter manages electricity flows between compatible solar generation, household loads, battery storage and the grid. Following installation, the system was tested, commissioned and certified, with the documented work referencing applicable AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 4777 and AS/NZS 5139 requirements.
