USQ to install 1.9MW solar, plus battery storage across three campuses in three-stage Sustainable Energy Solution aimed at slashing the University’s electricity costs and emissions.
The first version of Tesla’s Powerwall battery storage device had a big impact on prices in Australia. The second version, unveiled last week, is expected to do it all over again.
Early adopters are already getting their batteries installed around the country, and it’s only a matter of time before more solar homes do the same. How much further do battery storage prices need to fall before they make sense as an investment?
In some political and media circles, South Australia’s recent power woes have been cause to question the reliability of distributed renewables. For consumers, however, these events have had precisely the opposite effect, as interest in solar and battery storage spikes.
A little over six months after I moved into a new home I have installed a combination of rooftop solar and battery storage. It’s amazing what a little bit of storage can achieve.
Most Australian households looking at battery storage just want to make the most of their solar investment and use as little grid supplied energy as possible. But what should they look to buy?
New solar modules are producing nearly twice as much as early models at the start of the solar boom. That is important as households add storage, provide power for electric vehicles and consider going off grid.
