Answers to Your Energy Questions
General Questions
Which BBS battery is right for my needs?
Each system is designed for a specific use case – from mobile trailers and rackmount setups to residential and utility-scale energy storage. Explore our Power in Action section or book a free consultation and we’ll match the right system to your site, goals, and budget.
What do high IP-rated batteries mean, and why are they important?
High IP-rated batteries (such as IP55 or IP66) are engineered for protection against dust, water, and environmental stress. This ensures consistent performance across a variety of conditions – from indoor installations to harsh outdoor or remote deployments. Our products like EnduraVolt, MobileVolt, and TitanVolt Max all feature robust IP protection tailored to their application.
What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?
A VPP is a network of connected batteries that share stored energy with the grid during high-demand periods. Products like HomeVolt Pro and PowerVolt Pro are VPP-ready, helping you earn income by exporting stored energy to the grid during peak demand periods.
How do I know if I’m eligible for government incentives?
Our team will assess your eligibility for programs like the NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) during your free consultation and guide you through the application process.
What’s the lifespan of a BBS battery system?
Each BBS battery model is engineered for long-term reliability, with lifespans tailored to its use case. While specifics vary, most of our systems – including HomeVolt, PowerVolt, EnduraVolt, and TitanVolt – offer 10-15 years of use or 6000+ cycles under typical conditions.
How do I schedule a consultation?
You can book a free consultation through our website, give us a call, or complete the contact form. We’re here to help!
What’s the difference between your residential and commercial systems?
Our residential systems (like HomeVolt) are designed for smaller energy demands, fast installation, and smart home integration. Commercial and industrial systems (like PowerVolt Pro and TitanVolt Max) offer higher capacity, advanced energy management, and integration with solar, diesel, and grid power.
Can I expand my battery system later if my energy needs grow?
Most BBS systems are modular and scalable, including HomeVolt, EnduraVolt, and TitanVolt. Whether you need to add more storage capacity or integrate with new energy sources, we can help future-proof your setup.
Installation and Compatibility
Are your battery systems configurable or custom-built?
Yes! Our systems are modular and tailored to your needs. From rackmount indoor solutions like EnduraVolt to mobile trailers like MobileVolt, we’ll design the right fit for your application.
Can I integrate BBS batteries with my solar panels?
All our systems work seamlessly with solar to store excess energy and maximise savings.
Will my system work during a blackout?
All systems offer backup capability. HomeVolt and PowerVolt Pro include seamless switchover (typically <20ms), ideal for most home and business loads. For mission-critical systems requiring zero-delay transitions, TitanVolt and EnduraVolt can be configured with full UPS functionality. Speak with our team to determine the best backup configuration for your use case.
Cost and Savings
Can BBS help lower my energy bills?
Yes. Our battery systems help cut electricity costs by storing low-rate energy and avoiding peak charges, while federal and state programs can reduce installation costs. You can also earn extra income through VPP participation.
How much can I save with a battery system?
Savings depend on your energy usage, solar setup, and the battery system selected. Most customers using HomeVolt, PowerVolt, EnduraVolt, or TitanVolt see strong reductions in energy bills when paired with solar or off-peak energy strategies.
Are government incentives available for battery systems?
Many BBS systems qualify for programs like the Federal Battery Rebate, and we’ll guide you through the process during your consultation.
Industry-Specific Benefits
What industries benefit most from BBS solutions?
We support a wide range of sectors with tailored energy storage solutions:
- Commercial & Industrial – PowerVolt Pro for mid-scale C&I energy needs like supermarkets, logistics depots, and office buildings
- Utility & Heavy Industry – TitanVolt Max for utility-grade backup, solar farm integration, and high-demand manufacturing
- Infrastructure & Telecommunications – EnduraVolt for cabinet-based backup and secure power in harsh environments
- Construction, Events & Emergency Services – MobileVolt for temporary, off-grid, and mobile energy applications
- Residential & Home-Based Businesses – HomeVolt for energy independence, VPP earnings, and EV charging
How do high IP-rated batteries benefit businesses?
High IP-rated batteries (e.g., IP55 to IP66) protect against water ingress, dust, and environmental hazards. This makes products like EnduraVolt, MobileVolt, and TitanVolt ideal for exposed locations, industrial facilities, and remote sites where resilience and reliability are essential.
