Customer Stories

Bernard Gold Coast Testimonial
Solar & Battery

Bernard - Gold Coast, Queensland

13kW solar | 16kWh battery | customer since 2022

Household: 2 adults | ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, 1 heated swimming pool | 2 storey 

"Our main motivation for installing solar has always been energy independence.

On a sunny day, our system can comfortably run the pool pump, washing machine, dishwasher, and everything else operating in the home while still charging the battery. By the evening we are able to draw from the stored power, and typically still have capacity remaining the next morning."

Charles QLD testimonial
Solar & Battery

Charles - Brisbane, Queensland

39kW solar | 76kWh battery | customer since 2023

Household: 2 adults, 1 child, 1 pet | 2 EVs, 1 heated swimming pool | 3 storey 

"Living in Queensland - certainly in summer - it’s very difficult not to run air conditioning overnight. So being able to sustain our energy needs overnight with what has been stored throughout the day has been great. 

Again, living in Queensland where weather-related power outages take place, it’s been fantastic having the peace of mind knowing the battery will sustain my home.

The quality of work from the team has been very, very good. I've been extremely happy with the service I've received and the installations have been excellent."

Joe - Brisbane, Queensland

8kW solar | 27kWh battery | customer since 2025

Household: 2 adults | 2 children | 1 storey 

"We got solar a little over four years ago. We then decided to get a battery installed with 1KOMMA5° about a year ago, and have essentially been in credit ever since.

Before we had the battery installed, no one was home during the day and we were generating all of this solar energy and it wasn’t going anywhere.

That’s what kicked off looking into getting a battery, so we could store whatever we generated during the day, and then give back to the grid when needed."

Customer Stories

"Having solar is the most sensible thing you can do to save money."

Robert, 1KOMMA5° Customer
