How we work this out
- We work out how much power you use from your bill, using typical SE Queensland prices: 30c per kWh plus a daily supply charge of $1.40 a day.
- We then run your home through a full year, day by day: Sunshine Coast sunshine for each month, a realistic mix of sunny, patchy and overcast days, and how much power you use during the day versus at night.
- Solar powers your home first, spare solar charges the battery, and anything left over goes to the grid at 6c per kWh. The battery then runs your home in the evening and overnight.
- Every package uses a Fox ESS KH9.9 hybrid inverter. Its 9.9kW output limit is included: on the sunniest days, solar above 9.9kW goes straight into the battery if there is room.
- Future price rises: you choose none, 2%, 3% or 4% a year. The 3% option is the official Queensland outlook (about 1.7% a year) plus the AEMC's warning that poorly managed growth in home solar and batteries could add up to 13% to prices, spread over 10 years. The rise is applied to the usage rate and the daily supply charge; we keep the feed-in credit flat because feed-in rates have been falling. Source: AEMC Residential Electricity Price Trends (2026–2035 outlook). Rises are an estimate, not a forecast; network charges may also shift toward the daily supply charge, which would reduce savings.
- We also allow for your system slowly ageing: savings drop about 0.5% a year as panels and battery wear.
- We allow for battery losses (about 8%), use 90% of the battery capacity, and assume a small amount of power always comes from the grid. Your bill always includes the daily supply charge unless solar credits cover it.
- Our model matches what Fox ESS systems we've installed on the Sunshine Coast are doing: 93–99% of the home's power from their own solar and battery, even through winter.
- Package prices are supplied and installed, inc. GST. This is an estimate, not a quote. Tom will confirm everything after looking at your roof, switchboard and bills.

About Klease
Meet Tom Klease
As a fifth-generation Sunshine Coast local, I'm proud of my family's long history in the area, including Klease Brothers at Diddillibah.
I’ve always had a passion for hands-on work, problem-solving and helping people, which led me into the electrical trade and eventually to building Klease Electrical.
For me, understanding what each customer actually needs is one of the most important parts of the job. I take the time to listen, explain the options clearly and find the right solution, not simply the easiest one.

Home battery and inverter install
We had two ceiling fans installed in our unit, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Our electrician was punctual, professional, and incredibly tidy. The fans were installed perfectly. We highly recommend Tom at Klease Electrical for anyone seeking reliable, high-quality electrical work.

FAQs
Good questions
Is a home battery worth it on the Sunshine Coast?
With feed-in tariffs now only a few cents, storing your own solar for the evening is usually worth far more than exporting it. With the federal battery discount, payback has come down a lot. Tom will run the numbers on your actual bills before recommending one.
What rebates can I get?
Solar systems attract Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), and eligible batteries get the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount. Both are already taken off the package prices on this site, and Tom takes care of the paperwork. Rebate amounts change over time; your quote shows the current figures.
How long does an install take?
It depends on the system and your home, and Tom will give you a timeframe with your quote. He arranges the Energex grid connection approval before work starts.
Do you do small jobs too?
Absolutely: a single power point, a faulty light or a safety switch upgrade. No job too big or too small.
Do you install and service air conditioners?
Yes. We install split system and ducted air conditioning, and service, repair and re-gas existing systems. We also do the electrical connection, including a dedicated circuit if your switchboard needs one.
Do you work on commercial sites?
Yes: shop and office fit-outs, maintenance and commercial solar. We work around your trading hours.
What warranties do I get?
It depends on the brand installed. Panels, inverters, batteries and air conditioners each come with their own manufacturer warranty, and Tom gives you the full warranty details for your job with your quote. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law also apply.
