This guide covers the key things you need to understand before you buy, from how the technology actually works to how to choose a company you can trust. - [44 cent Feed in Tariffs](https://truenorthsolar.com.au/44-cent-feed-in-tariffs/): This page is for Townsville homeowners who already have a solar system on the legacy 44 cent feed-in tariff. If you are looking to install new solar, the 44 cent tariff is no longer available. Head to our residential solar page instead. - [Solar battery terminology explained](https://truenorthsolar.com.au/solar-battery-terminology-explained/): When you start looking at solar batteries, you quickly run into a lot of terms that do not mean much until someone explains them. kWh, DoD, LFP, cycle life, round-trip efficiency — it can feel like you need an engineering degree just to compare two products. - [What Solar System Size Do I Need?](https://truenorthsolar.com.au/what-solar-system-size-do-i-need/): This is one of the most common questions we get asked. And honestly, the answer is different for every home. It depends on how much power you use, when you use it, what your roof looks like and whether you are thinking about adding a battery down the track. - [The best solar battery options for Townsville homes in 2026](https://truenorthsolar.com.au/best-battery-options-for-townsville-2026/): Most battery comparison guides are written by people who have never been on a North Queensland roof. This one is written by the team that has been installing solar and batteries in Townsville since 2005. We cover three systems: Sigenergy SigenStor, GoodWe ESA and BYD. We explain what each does well and who it suits, without pushing one over the others. ## Pages - [Solar System Sizing Guide for Townsville Homes](https://truenorthsolar.com.au/solar-system-sizing-townsville/): Most quotes people get are sized off a rough guess of roof space, not their actual usage. Get it wrong and you're either paying for panels you don't need or still buying power from the grid every evening. This guide walks through three practical ways to work out your number — by your bill, by your household, or by your roof — plus how Townsville's climate changes the maths compared to a generic online calculator.Get a free quote - [Cranbrook](https://truenorthsolar.com.au/solar-and-battery-installation/cranbrook/): We install solar panels, battery storage and EV chargers across Cranbrook and the surrounding region.

There is a best battery for your roof, your household's usage pattern, your budget and what you actually want it to do — cut bills, ride out blackouts, or both. We install Tesla, Sigenergy, GoodWe and BYD batteries, so we don't need to talk any one of them up. This guide sets out what each does well and where the trade-offs are, so you can match the decision to your situation rather than a sales pitch.
