Batteries allow schools to store electricity when it’s cheapest – typically during the day when solar panels are generating or when grid prices are low -and use it later when prices spike. This minimises your school’s exposure to high prices, helping keep energy costs down. Learn more

Many schools have existing rooftop solar systems. Integrating a battery can maximise value from solar, by storing excess energy generated during the day to power your school through the evening, or overnight. This can also reduce any solar export charges. 

With the capacity to store energy on-site, schools can minimise the impact of grid disruptions or blackouts, keeping essential systems like emergency lighting, IT infrastructure, refrigeration and heating or cooling running safely. 

Using stored renewable electricity supports Australia’s clean energy transition. This can help schools lower their carbon emissions by reducing energy use from the grid – which is often generated by fossil-fuels during peak periods.
