Home battery advice — Home battery installer
Explain why you are considering storage and what you already know about your consumption, solar generation and outage needs. State whether you want a preliminary discussion, site assessment or comparison of specific proposals so the advice has a clear purpose and deliverable.

What to include in your brief
- Main reason for considering storage
- Existing solar or heating equipment
- Available energy records
- Backup expectations
- Proposals or questions to compare
Choosing the right professional
Ask the adviser to separate measured facts, manufacturer capabilities and financial assumptions. Useful advice should explain when additional data or a site survey is needed, not present a generic battery as suitable for every household.
Important considerations
- Marketing claims may not reflect the household's actual usage
- Financial and regulatory assumptions can change independently of system hardware
