What would your “Dream Home” have? ‘Solar and Battery storage’ might not be at the top of everyone’s list – but it is for this Nerang family!
Perhaps a heated pool and a tennis-court? A spacious kitchen and a private gym? An open-plan indoor and outdoor entertaining area? Ducted air-conditioning and a media room? This 800m2 family home has it all. But with power bills rapidly rising every year, this family’s “Dream Home” was becoming an expensive headache to maintain.
Leaving them with two options – cut back, or fight back!
At Meridien Energy, we fight back with solar. With a Meridien EnergyTM HomePower System, residents have ZERO power bills. ZERO!

What are the Clients Solar Power Goals & Hurdles?
Clients typically contact Meridien Energy, with four common questions:
-
- Can solar save me money?
- What are the benefits of going with a battery?
- How many solar panels will I need?
- How do I get ZERO power bills?
The Process
After our initial chat with the Nerang family, we had a greater understanding of what their goals and hurdles were. We then visited their property and completed a site appraisal. Once assessed, we had a greater understanding of:
-
- Why their current set-up wasn’t working for them, and
- How we could help them reach their financial and environmental goals.
No matter the property, big or small, we ALWAYS follow the same process – develop an Energy Management Plan, custom to the clients unique requirements, then help them fight back with solar!
What is an Energy Management Plan?
An Energy Management Plan takes into consideration, factors such as:
-
- Understanding the current energy usage, while estimating future energy usage.
- Avoiding power bill inflation, by developing an independent system that builds Energy Resilience, not commercial dependence.
- How to reduce the carbon footprint to minimise the environmental impact.
- Ways to implement systems that monitor power efficiency and consumption.
- How much solar and battery power is required to Power energy bills to ZERO.
Our Solution to Powering Energy Bills to ZERO!
When it came to developing this Nerang family home’s Energy Management Plan, we took into consideration factors such as:
-
- Two-story 800 m² floor area
- +6 Household Residents
- 5 Bedrooms + Media Room
- 4 Bathrooms
- Ducted Air-conditioning system throughout, with an open plan entertaining area
- Heated Pool, lit tennis court and indoor gym
- Powered triple bay shed
- Large gum trees surrounding the property
- And more
Once the Nerang residents Energy Management Plan was developed, we designed a custom Solar Panel and Battery solution that best suited their needs. For now AND into the future.
Solar System Specification
-
- 60x Astronergy N7s 440W Bifacial Solar Panels
- 25kW 3-Phase Solax Hybrid Inverter

- Long-duration emergency backup storage
