The solar and battery storage system installation revolution has hit Australia in a big way over the last 18 months.
Once a distant dream, the ability to store and power your home with clean energy is here. The combination of PV and battery storage are now affordable long term options as the price of electricity sourced from fossil fuels soars.
While forms of battery storage have been available for a number of years now, the development of lithium-ion battery storage, such as the Tesla Powerwall, has created an opportunity for households to store their own energy harvested through rooftop solar panels.
Based on technology from the company’s iconic electric car batteries and with a ten year warranty, the Powerwall is revolutionising the way we get our household energy. Though Tesla’s Powerwall has dominated the headlines, there are a number of other excellent battery storage alternatives available to Adelaide homeowners.
Lithium-ion isn’t the only type of battery storage either, with some manufacturers offering zinc bromide flow batteries. The advantage of this type is its ability to lie dormant for long periods without any decline in performance.
Manufacturers such as Tesla have targeted Australia as a key place to test the energy storage market because of our abundant solar energy potential and high level of home ownership.
There are a number of reasons why Australians have embraced solar energy and storage so wholeheartedly:
Awareness of the importance of protecting our environment
We’re all aware of the need to protect our environment and — in particular — the need to reduce the release of harmful carbon emissions into our atmosphere. Solar energy collection is a way for us to play our part in caring for where we live and protecting the environment for future generations to come.
Cutting down electricity bills
While protecting our environment is an admirable reason to push towards solar panels and battery storage, another convincing reason is the rising price of our electricity bills. An ever-shrinking market for traditional energy has seen prices rise exponentially. Cutting electricity bills has understandably become a priority for Adelaide homeowners and solar and battery storage offers a chance to drastically cut your reliance on the grid in the long term.
Australians love to embrace technological change
From embracing the latest in computer technology, to powering homes using clean energy, we are a nation of enthusiastic technology users. Currently, around one third of Adelaide homes and businesses already use some form of solar power. But, with the growing popularity of energy storage, the South Australian power market is about to undergo a dramatic shift. With South Australia’s high degree of solar radiation coverage and the increasing availability of battery storage, now is the perfect time to consider whether solar and battery storage is right for you.
So if you’re an Adelaide homeowner looking for a way to avoid increasing electricity prices from the energy companies, then you may wish to consider solar and battery storage system installation. Measured against the rising electricity prices, solar and battery storage is emerging as the energy future that will not only protect our environment but save you money.
