Battery storage is revolutionizing how Australian homes use solar energy. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about adding battery storage to your solar system.
What is Solar Battery Storage?
Solar batteries store excess energy generated by your panels during the day for use at night or during power outages. This maximizes your solar investment and reduces grid dependence.
Types of Solar Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular choice, offering high efficiency, long lifespan, and compact size. Brands like Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem, and Sonnen lead the market.
Cost Considerations
Battery prices have dropped significantly, with a typical home battery system costing between $8,000-$15,000 installed. Government rebates in some states can reduce this further.
