Different households have different energy consumption habits, but solar can work for virtually any of them—including those with burdensome power usage requirements. Frustrated by the already spiralling electricity bills and effects of global warming, many Australian households are looking for ways to build more energy efficient homes to minimise energy usage and reduce electricity bills.
The storage revolution is here! And it’s coming to homes across Australia. Home battery storage is looking better than ever - in fact, nearly 21,000 Australian households installed a solar battery in 2017. Both the cost and size of batteries are shrinking, and the variety of makes and models is increasing.
As solar energy installation grows, so does the number of people with questions about their many options. At some point, energy storage system shoppers here in Australia find themselves having to decide between AC battery storage or DC battery storage system. These two approaches are more accurately referred to as AC-coupled battery storage and DC-coupled battery storage.
The current solar power boom is leading to a rise in complaints according to consumer advocate Choice. Solar installation problems may include low quality solar panels and components, and systems that do not work as promised.
