Usable energy
Battery capacity in kWh determines stored energy. Available energy changes with the state of charge, reserve setting, losses and operating conditions.

Home Battery 400V example
Energy, power and backup are different decisions.
SolarEdge offers more than one Home Battery architecture. The 400V model described here has 9.7 kWh of usable energy and 5 kW continuous output. It needs a compatible inverter, and backup requires the appropriate Home Hub inverter and Backup Interface. Three-phase battery products use different specifications.
Output power
Continuous output in kW limits the loads a system can supply together. Motor starting and phase arrangements also affect the design.
Designed backup
A battery does not automatically back up every circuit. Compatible controls, safe grid isolation and a specified load list are part of a backup installation.

Warranty and support
Check the coverage for your model.
The linked 400V datasheet specifies a 10-year warranty. Consult the applicable warranty for capacity retention, operating requirements and exclusions.
The equipment
Check which components are covered, the warranty term and any registration, usage or servicing conditions.
The installation
Your quote should identify the installation work, commissioning, handover and support contacts.
The documents
Keep model and serial numbers, the invoice and the applicable Australian warranty. Manufacturer warranties sit alongside Australian Consumer Law rights.
Planning the system
Model the battery against your usage.
Storage value depends on when your home imports and exports electricity, the tariff and the proposed operating settings. There is no single savings or runtime figure for every household.
Load profile
Use interval-meter data where available to understand evening demand and daytime solar surplus.
Tariff and controls
Account for import prices, export payments, charge scheduling and any energy-plan conditions.
Backup reserve
Keeping energy in reserve changes how much the battery can use for everyday bill savings.
