Solar Battery Benefits
With electricity prices continuing to rise and homeowners becoming more conscious of running costs, the uptake of battery storage systems in Australia is expected to quickly grow into a billion-dollar-a-year market.
- Investing in a solar battery system for your home can help you save more money on your electricity bills, compared to just installing solar alone.
- Installing a battery bank at your home or business lessens the amount of energy you’ll need to buy from the grid. This decreases your reliance on the grid and major energy retailers, giving you more energy independence.
- If your home is on a Time of Use Tariff, installing a solar battery means you can benefit from energy arbitrage. By charging your battery bank during off-peak rates and using your own stored electricity during peak rates, you’ll end up pocketing the difference and saving a lot of money on your electricity bills. Energy arbitrage can be accomplished with or without a solar PV system.
- In some cases, it’s possible to install your home battery storage system to provide your home with backup power. This gives you the convenience and flexibility of always having electricity, regardless of what’s happening on the grid.
