Solar Insiders Podcast: Has the battery storage market gone flat?

June 6, 2019 by Giles Parkinson and Nigel Morris 9 Comments

It seems that the household battery storage market will struggle to live up to expectations this year, with many installers – and customers – deciding that it is just too hard to make it work, and simply installing more solar is the easiest and quickest way to get a return on investment.

In this episode we also discuss the ABC’s report on rooftop solar, and some of the dangers and pitfalls. In short, harsh but fair, and a summary of what we have been highlighting in our Crap Solar segment for the past two years. Plus, is there a smart alternative to DC isolators, still the most vulnerable part of rooftop arrays?
