Residential Battery Storage Solutions for Australian Homes
Foton supplies advanced residential battery systems that help homeowners reduce electricity costs, increase energy independence, and stay powered during outages. As the exclusive Australian distributor of Cospower, Foton delivers proven lithium iron phosphate and sodium ion battery technology backed by certified installation, safety compliance, and local support.
Why Australian Households Choose Foton
Homeowners across Australia are choosing battery storage to take control of rising power prices and improve reliability. Foton makes the transition simple with systems that are safe, durable, and supported nationwide.
Lower Electricity Bills
Australian homes with rooftop solar often export excess energy at low feed-in tariff rates. A residential battery stores this unused energy and makes it available during evening peak periods when electricity costs are highest.
This increases the value of solar and reduces monthly bills across all major energy retailers. Many households achieve 50 to 80 percent bill reductions depending on system size and usage patterns.
Foton systems optimise energy flows automatically and show real-time performance through monitoring apps.
Backup Power During Outages
Extreme weather, storms, and network faults cause unexpected power outages. A Foton battery provides backup power so lighting, refrigeration, internet, and essential appliances continue operating.
Long Life & Reliability
Lithium iron phosphate delivers 6,000+ cycles, equating to more than 15 years of daily use. All systems include a 10-year warranty with capacity retention guarantees.
Smart Monitoring
Monitor energy flow, state of charge, and system health. Notifications indicate performance changes. Remote access allows installers to support customers efficiently.
Certified Installers
100+ certified installers across metro and regional locations. Installers assess requirements, recommend system size, and manage installation, approvals, and commissioning.

Typical Residential Use Cases
Discover how Australian homeowners are using Foton battery systems to transform their energy independence
Solar and Battery Combination
Homes with rooftop solar use battery storage to capture excess power and reduce grid reliance. This provides faster payback and predictable electricity costs.
Backup Power for Outage Protection
Battery systems keep essential appliances operating during power cuts. This benefits regions with storm activity, rural networks, or unreliable supply.
Tariff and Peak Period Savings
Time-of-use tariffs allow batteries to discharge during high-cost periods and charge when rates are low. This reduces annual electricity costs further.
Electrification and Lifestyle Upgrades
Modern homes adopting electric vehicles, heating, cooling, cooking, and pool systems benefit from larger capacity and stable power availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about residential battery storage
A residential battery stores excess solar energy generated during the day so the home can use it at night or during outages. This increases energy independence and reduces grid reliance across all Australian regions.
Most homes require between ten and twenty kilowatt hours based on appliances, household size, and desired backup performance. Installers provide accurate sizing recommendations based on your usage patterns.
Yes. Systems are compatible with most solar installations after verification. This allows homeowners to improve self-consumption and lower electricity costs without replacing panels.
Residential battery installations usually take one to two days once approvals are complete. Larger or more complex configurations may take longer.
Most systems operate for fifteen to twenty years with warranties that cover ten years and include capacity retention protection. Lithium iron phosphate chemistry delivers exceptional cycle life.
