The new solar revolution – battery storage – needs close cooperation between Australia’s home battery system sector and governments says the Clean Energy Council.
The body says a collaborative partnership would accelerate cost reductions in energy storage and provide other benefits for Australians.
For the first time ever utility-scale solar projects will add more new capacity to the nation’s grid than any other industry this year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported Tuesday.
Battery storage is increasingly becoming an attractive and viable option for homes in Australia. The disruptive technology, which is moving faster than expected, is set to revolutionise the way Aussies access electricity – helping more homes to stay independent of the national grid.
Genex Power has shortlisted two engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors for the initial 50 MW stage one of its 150 MW Kidston Solar Project.
