The installation of home solar batteries 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. Solar storage batteries are indeed the holy grail of renewable energy and a significant element to the massive transition from fossil fuels.
Under a program called the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, some properties are eligible to claim for small-scale technology certificates, and this includes solar energy installations.
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.
