Solar Battery & EV Charger Installation in Woodend, Ipswich

How a Solar Battery Installation in Woodend Helped One Homeowner Finally Beat High Power Bills

Are you looking at your quarterly power bill, then looking up at the solar panels on your roof, and wondering why you’re still paying so much?

It’s one of the most common and frustrating problems for homeowners with solar. You’ve invested in the technology, but you’re just not seeing the savings you were promised. This is often because you’re selling your valuable, clean energy back to the grid for a tiny feed-in tariff during the day, only to buy expensive grid power back every evening.

This was the exact problem facing a homeowner in Woodend, Ipswich. He was looking for a real solution for reducing power bills, and the Government’s Home Battery rebate was the final push he needed. Here’s how the Fallon Solutions team helped him take back control of his power.

The Problem: The “Solar Trap”

Our customer, Shayne, was in a classic “solar trap.”

• During the day: His solar panels were working perfectly, generating plenty of free, clean electricity. But with the family at work and school, most of that power had nowhere to go. It was automatically exported to the grid for a minimal feed-in tariff (often just a few cents).
• At night: When the family came home, turned on the lights, the TV, the air conditioner, and cooked dinner, their solar panels were dormant. They were forced to buy all their power back from the grid at a rate 3 or 4 times higher than what they were paid for theirs.

On top of this, Shayne had just purchased a BYD electric vehicle and needed a safe, fast, and convenient charging solution. He knew a battery was the answer but was unsure where to start.

The Solution: An Honest Quote and a Complete Installation

Shayne’s journey with us is a perfect example of the Fallon Solutions difference.

1. The On-Site, Honest Assessment

Shayne called Fallon Solutions because we were a trusted, recognised name. We immediately scheduled an on-site consultation with our solar specialist, Jarrad.

This first step is crucial. A proper solar installation in Woodend can’t be quoted accurately over the phone. Jarrad came to the property to analyse Shayne’s actual energy usage patterns and inspect his existing system.

Here’s where the integrity comes in: Shayne assumed he would need to buy more solar panels. After Jarrad’s expert analysis, he gave him some honest advice: “Your panels are producing plenty of power. The problem isn’t production; it’s that they’re dirty.”

Jarrad recommended a thorough solar panel cleaning, not an expensive, unnecessary panel upgrade. This honesty made a huge impact.

2. A Tailored, All-in-One Solution

After doing his own research, Shayne had more questions. He spoke with our solar specialist, Jade, who was happy to answer every call and explain the different options. When Shayne received another quote that included a payback for his old inverter, Jade was able to factor that into our quote, ensuring he got the best possible value.

The final, approved solution was a complete home energy makeover:

• Solar Battery Installation: This is the core of the solution. The battery now acts as a “solar sponge.” It soaks up all that excess solar power generated during the day.
• Solar Panel Cleaning: We organised a full clean of his existing panels, bringing them back to peak production capacity.
• Electric Vehicle Charger Installation: We installed a new fast charger for his BYD. Crucially, our team didn’t just put it in the easiest spot; they listened to Shayne and installed it in the best spot for where he prefers to park his car.

Our licensed electricians and installers handled the entire project. At the end of the day, they spent time walking Shayne through his new system, explaining how the battery works and how to monitor his energy usage.

Customer Testimonial: “I Felt I Received Good, Swift Attention.”

We were thrilled to receive this feedback from Shayne after the job was complete:

“I have already recommended Fallon to my boss and happy to tell everyone. I felt I received good, swift attention. I didn’t feel like there were any dumb questions. I got good advice that suited my needs rather than a cookie-cutter approach. And the service was second-to-none. Plus, I now see Fallon do everything. I have a one-stop-shop for a lot of my needs.” – Shayne N

The Benefits for the Homeowner

It’s only been a short time, but Shayne is already seeing the benefits he was promised.

• Using His Own Power: He can now see his panels producing power, but instead of selling it, his battery stores it. When the sun goes down, his home (and his car) runs on free, stored solar power.
• Massively Reduced Power Bills: By slashing the amount of power he needs to buy from the grid, his goal of reducing power bills is finally a reality.
• Convenient EV Charging: His new electric vehicle charger installation is perfectly placed and ready to go.
• Peace of Mind: Shayne knows he received an honest, tailored solution, not a “cookie-cutter” product.
