Smart Energy. Practical Solutions. Better Future.
Practical Power Solutions (PPS) uses a bill-led approach to help South Australian property owners understand their energy use, compare suitable battery or battery + solar options, and identify a practical system tailored to the property.
Smart Energy
Your electricity bills, tariff and usage patterns help PPS understand when your property uses power and where battery storage may add value, rather than simply adding more equipment.
Practical Solutions
PPS compares suitable configurations against your current energy setup, backup needs, site conditions, budget and goals, with customer price, estimated savings and payback presented clearly before a system is selected.
Better Future
A well-matched system can make better use of solar, reduce reliance on higher-cost grid energy and give your household greater control as energy needs, electricity prices and retailer plans change.

How PPS Works
PPS reviews your property, energy information and goals to understand your requirements, compare suitable system options and present a practical recommendation before you proceed.
Share Your Property Details
Tell PPS about your property, current energy setup and goals. Recent electricity bills can also be provided where available.
Review Your Energy Use
PPS reviews the information provided to understand your property's energy requirements.
Compare Suitable Options
Relevant battery or battery + solar configurations are compared across key system and financial outcomes.
Receive Your Recommendation
PPS presents a practical recommendation and next steps before final design is confirmed through consultation and site inspection.
Designed to move households toward greater energy independence.
PPS takes a different approach to battery and solar, helping South Australian property owners consider systems that better reflect how their property uses energy rather than simply starting with the largest system available.
Designed around actual energy use
Recommendations consider the property's energy requirements, existing setup and future needs rather than starting with a predetermined package.
Suitable options to compare
Practical system sizes can be compared before a final configuration is selected, helping you understand the differences between suitable options.
Clearer investment decisions
Customer price, estimated savings, payback and system coverage can be considered together before you proceed.
Greater control of your energy
A well-matched battery or battery + solar system can help reduce reliance on grid imports and give the property greater control over its energy use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much could I save with PPS?
Potential savings depend on your energy use, tariff structure, existing solar, selected system and installed cost. PPS compares indicative savings, system coverage and payback as part of the assessment process.
How long does a battery last and what warranty applies?
Battery lifespan and warranty conditions depend on the selected system, operating conditions and manufacturer terms. PPS confirms the applicable product and installation warranty information before you proceed.
Where can a battery system be installed?
The final battery location depends on the property, electrical equipment, access and site conditions. PPS confirms a suitable installation location during the site inspection before the system design is finalised.
Are single-phase and three-phase properties supported?
Yes. Suitable battery and battery + solar configurations can be considered for both single-phase and three-phase properties, subject to the selected equipment and site requirements.
Can a battery provide power during a grid failure?
A compatible battery system can be configured to provide backup power during a grid outage. The circuits and level of backup available depend on the final system design and property requirements.
