GETTING A BATTERY
What are the benefits of getting a battery?
Get ahead of the tech curve
Stay up-to-date with the latest in energy management technology and gain the opportunity to play the electricity market to your advantage.
Get more value from your solar panels
Earn a higher feed-in tariff by exporting energy during peak times, instead of during the day when feed-in tariffs are low or even negative.
Reduce reliance on fossil fuels
Use your stored solar power during the evening peak to utilise clean energy during times when fossil fuels are typically relied upon.
Energy independence
Make your house a renewable power plant and reduce your dependence on the grid.
Back-up household essentials such as your fridge, lights, and certain sockets in the event of a blackout.
No solar panels?
No problem.
Batteries can also be charged directly from the grid.
This is a great way of harvesting Australia’s excess solar generation at a low price, which can later be sold back to the grid at a premium during the evening peak.
