2. Solar Panels: High-Efficiency Panels from the World's Leading Brands
At the heart of every solar system is the panel itself, and this is where quality makes the biggest long-term difference to your energy bills. The Panels category at 85 Energy features an extensive range of N-Type TOPCon, monofacial, and bifacial solar panels from globally recognised, bankable manufacturers, including:
Trina Solar
475W N-Type panels known for excellent low-light performance.
Jinko Solar (Tiger Neo Series)
460W–510W high-efficiency N-Type modules.
JA Solar
440W and 475W N-Type double-glass options for durability.
Canadian Solar
510W N-Type panels with strong industry reputation.
Risen Energy
475W panels offering excellent value for money.
Tongwei (TW Solar)
465W bifacial black-frame panels for premium aesthetics.
Tindo Solar
Proudly Australian-made 440W and 475W N-Type panels.
Suntech
Ultra VPro 440W panels for reliable residential installs.
Whether you're after maximum roof efficiency, an Australian-made option, or the best dollars-per-watt value, 85 Energy stocks a panel to match your goals. All panels are CEC-listed and backed by strong manufacturer warranties, protecting your investment for 25+ years.
Why panel choice matters: Higher-efficiency N-Type TOPCon panels generate more electricity per square metre than older P-Type panels, which is especially valuable on smaller roofs or for homes wanting to maximise self-consumption before feeding excess power to the grid.

3. Solar Inverters: The Brain of Your Solar System
A solar panel only produces DC electricity. It's the inverter that converts that power into usable AC electricity for your home, manages your battery, and talks to the grid. In the Inverters category, 85 Energy stocks proven, high-performance hybrid inverters from two of the most trusted names in the industry:
FoxESS H3 Pro Series
Three-phase hybrid inverters available in 20kW, 25kW, and 29.9kW capacities, ideal for larger residential and commercial installations.
FoxESS Single Phase Hybrid Inverters
9.9kW and 10kW models suited to standard residential homes.
GoodWe EH Plus Series
Compact 5kW hybrid inverters (AS4777-2 2020 compliant) perfect for smaller homes or partial-load systems.
A hybrid inverter is the smart choice for most Australian households in 2026, because it's already battery-ready, meaning you can add battery storage now or later without replacing your inverter. This future-proofs your system and protects your upfront investment.
Key buying tip: Match your inverter capacity to your panel array size and household usage. Oversizing or undersizing your inverter can limit your system's performance and reduce your return on investment, so speak to the 85 Energy team before you buy.

4. EV Chargers: Charge Your Electric Vehicle Faster, Cheaper, and Smarter
With electric vehicle sales accelerating across Australia, having a dedicated home EV charger is quickly becoming as essential as the solar system itself. The EV Chargers category at 85 Energy offers home and workplace charging solutions designed to work seamlessly alongside your solar and battery setup.
Charging your EV directly from rooftop solar rather than the grid can dramatically cut your "fuel" costs. For many households, it means driving on virtually free, sun-powered electricity. A dedicated charger also charges faster and more safely than a standard wall socket.
Look for these features when comparing EV chargers:
- Smart, app-controlled charging schedules
- Solar/battery integration for maximising self-consumption
- Fast single-phase or three-phase charging speeds
- Weatherproof housing for outdoor installation
Pairing an EV charger with your existing (or new) solar system is one of the fastest-growing energy upgrades in Australia right now, and 85 Energy can help you design a system that charges your car for a fraction of petrol costs.

5. Smart Home: Security Cameras, Networking & Storage for a Connected Home
Once your solar, battery, and EV charging setup is in place, the next step is protecting and connecting your home with smart technology. The Smart Home category at 85 Energy covers exactly that, with products including:
CCTV and security cameras
Indoor and outdoor surveillance to watch over your property and family, with remote viewing from your phone.
Routers and networking equipment
Reliable, high-speed connectivity for your smart devices, cameras, and solar monitoring apps.
Hard disks and storage devices
Local storage for recording and retaining CCTV footage securely, without relying solely on the cloud.
Bundling these products alongside your solar installation makes practical sense: your electrician is already on-site running cabling and setting up your switchboard, so adding a camera system, a dependable router, and dedicated footage storage is a natural, cost-effective extension of the same project. A strong home network also keeps your solar monitoring app, battery system, and EV charger talking to each other in real time.
Whether you're after a simple two-camera CCTV kit or a more comprehensive networked security setup for a larger property, the 85 Energy team can help you choose equipment that fits your budget and home layout.
Browse smart home security and networking products or ask our team to bundle CCTV into your next solar installation.
6. Solar Batteries: Store Your Own Power, Cut Your Bills Further
Solar panels alone only save you money while the sun is shining. To truly maximise your savings, and protect yourself from blackouts, you need battery storage. The Battery category at 85 Energy features an outstanding lineup from four leading battery manufacturers:
Sungrow
SBR and SBH modular battery systems (3.2kWh modules, expandable towers, combiner boxes) for scalable residential storage.
FoxESS
CQ7 high-voltage battery modules (6.96kWh) with IP65-rated weatherproof housing.
GoodWe
ESA and LX Series batteries ranging from compact 3.2kWh modules up to 60kWh commercial-scale storage.
AlphaESS
SMILE-M Series batteries (5kWh and 13.99kWh) offering flexible, stackable capacity.
Whether you need a compact battery for a small household or a large expandable tower system for a bigger home or commercial site, 85 Energy has capacity options ranging from single 3.2kWh modules right up to 60kWh systems.
Why add a battery in 2026? With feed-in tariffs continuing to shrink across most states, storing your excess solar power and using it at night is now far more valuable than exporting it to the grid. A well-sized battery can push your solar self-consumption above 80–90%, dramatically shortening your payback period.

7. Heat Pumps: Energy-Efficient Hot Water and Climate Solutions
Hot water heating is one of the biggest energy costs in an Australian home, often accounting for a quarter of total electricity use. The Heat Pump category at 85 Energy offers a smarter alternative to traditional electric or gas hot water systems.
A heat pump hot water system works like a reverse air conditioner, extracting heat from the surrounding air to warm your water, using up to 70% less electricity than a conventional electric unit. Paired with solar panels, it can run almost entirely on free daytime solar power, making it one of the fastest-payback upgrades available.
Benefits of switching to a heat pump system include:
- Significantly lower running costs compared to gas or electric storage systems
- Reduced carbon footprint and household emissions
- Compatibility with existing solar systems for near-zero operating cost
- Long service life with minimal maintenance
If you're renovating, replacing an old hot water system, or simply want to reduce your energy bills further, a heat pump is one of the most overlooked but highest-impact additions to any solar setup.
Browse heat pump systems or ask about current heat pump rebates by calling 1300 131 385.
8. Electricals: The Essential Components Behind Every Safe Solar Install
A solar and battery system is only as safe and reliable as the electrical components connecting it all together. The Electricals category at 85 Energy stocks the essential parts that installers and DIY-savvy homeowners need, including:
- DC and AC isolators
- Circuit breakers and protection devices
- Cabling, connectors, and combiner boxes
- Switchboards and metering accessories
- Surge protection devices
These components might not be the most exciting part of a solar system, but they're critical to compliance, safety, and long-term performance. Using genuine, certified parts protects your warranty and ensures your installation meets Australian wiring standards (AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 5033).

9. Mountings: Secure, Weatherproof Solar Racking for Every Roof Type
Even the best solar panels are only as good as the structure holding them in place. The Mountings category at 85 Energy provides durable racking and mounting solutions engineered to withstand Australia's harsh climate, from coastal salt exposure to cyclone-rated wind zones.
Solar mounting systems available include solutions for:
- Tin/metal roofs
- Tile roofs
- Flat roofs and ballasted systems
- Ground-mount installations
A properly engineered mounting system protects your roof's integrity, prevents leaks, and keeps your panels securely fixed through storms and extreme weather while meeting Australian structural compliance standards. Cutting corners on racking is one of the most common and costly mistakes in solar installation, which is why 85 Energy only stocks certified, wind-rated mounting hardware.
Explore mounting solutions to complete your solar installation safely and securely.

It depends on your evening energy usage and daytime solar generation. 85 Energy offers modular batteries from Sungrow, FoxESS, GoodWe, and AlphaESS scalable from around 3.2kWh up to 60kWh. Speak to the team for a personalised sizing recommendation.
5. Can I charge my EV directly from my solar panels?
Yes. Pairing a home EV charger from 85 Energy's EV Chargers range with your existing solar (and ideally a battery) allows you to charge your vehicle largely on free, self-generated solar power instead of drawing expensive electricity from the grid.
6. Does 85 Energy sell home security cameras and networking equipment too?
Yes. The Smart Home category includes CCTV and security cameras, routers, and hard disks for storing footage. They are useful both as standalone home security products and as a convenient add-on when your electrician is already on-site for a solar installation.
7. Do heat pump hot water systems actually save money?
Yes. Heat pump hot water systems typically use up to 70% less electricity than standard electric storage hot water systems, since they extract ambient heat from the air rather than generating heat directly. Running one during the day off solar power maximises the savings even further.
