Which battery systems are suitable for outdoor or coastal installation?

All three batteries are suitable for outdoor installation.

For coastal homes, the Anker SOLIX X1 is a good option, combining a C5-M corrosion rating with IP66 weatherproofing, ideal for installations 300m+ from the coastline. The Pylontech Force H3X also carries a C5-M rating with IP65 protection, so may suit some coastal homes.

The Sigenergy SigenStor carries a C4-M rating with IP66 weatherproofing, so it can be used in homes 500m+ from the coast.

All pricing is customised

All systems are customised to suit your home and energy needs, so actual pricing will vary.

The indicative prices below are shown to help you compare systems. Only basic installation assumptions have been applied, including a single-storey home with metal roof and single-phase power. They include Government rebates, which are subject to availability and eligibility.

Additional custom installation costs will apply for your home, along with any state-based insurance or compliance requirements. These costs often relate to roof type, double-storey homes, electrical upgrades or extra safety requirements for battery location. Costs may also increase depending on the system and installation options available to you. You will receive a final quote including custom installation costs after your site assessment.
