Packages · Solar and batteries
Custom solar and battery packages Designed to suit your home.
Barra Solar Power designs custom solar and battery packages in Townsville and across North Queensland. Every system is a custom package. We design it around your roof, your switchboard, your Ergon connection and how you use power. The set-ups below are examples of where many homes start, not fixed packages.
Example starting points
Examples only, every system is designed to suit you.
We do not list prices because every home is different. Your package can mix and match any of these, and we size every part of it to your home.
Solar, ready for a battery
Panels with a compatible hybrid inverter, planned for a possible battery addition. Compatibility and connection requirements still need checking when the battery is added.
Solar and battery
Solar plus a home battery, sized to how much you use at night.
Solar, battery and backup
Set up to keep chosen circuits, or the home, running in a blackout. Backup is designed for each home. See what will run during a blackout.
Add an EV charger
A home charger can go with any of the above, or on its own.
EV chargersHow we size it
We start with how you use power.
- Your Ergon bill shows grid use and exports. Interval or monitoring data helps show when you use power.
- Your switchboard tells us what the system has to connect to.
- Your goals decide the rest: lower bills, backup, or both.
Then we send a written proposal. Our own licensed team installs it, and we lodge the Ergon application.

Questions
Common questions answered.
Not covered here? Ask us and we will tell you straight.
Ask us a question01Do you offer solar and battery packages in Townsville?
Yes. Every Barra solar and battery package is designed for your Townsville or North Queensland home. We work from your switchboard and Ergon bill, then send a written proposal. Call 07 4401 5122 or request a quote online.
02Why are there no prices on this page?
Every home is different, so we quote your home, not an average one. Send a photo of your switchboard and a recent Ergon bill and we will send a written proposal.
03Can I start with solar and add a battery later?
Yes, if the system is built for it. A compatible hybrid inverter can make a later battery addition easier. Product compatibility, capacity and connection requirements still need checking.
04Will a battery keep my power on in a blackout?
Only if the system is set up for backup. A grid-connected system without backup switches off in a blackout. See what will run during a blackout on our battery page.
05Who lodges the Ergon application?
We do. Ergon approval is needed before installation.
06Which battery should I choose?
We install Sigenergy, Sungrow, Tesla Powerwall, SolaX and BYD, and we match the battery to your home rather than pushing one product.
