A recent survey in Australia revealed 34% of respondents were considering installing solar panels and 27% are contemplating battery storage
The new generation of batteries has improved the technology and significantly reduced the cost of battery storage to make it more affordable for everyone. Start taking advantage of the benefits of a Hybrid solar system today!
When battery storage is added to a grid-connected solar power system it is called a Hybrid system. Energy generated during the day can then be used from the battery, during the night, instead of spending more money buying energy from the grid.
How does it work?
With the Hybrid Solar Power System, electricity produced is first fed into the house or business for consumption and excess electricity is fed into and stored in the battery bank for later use. If there is still excess, it can be fed into the grid, usually for a fee called a feed-in-tariff.
With battery technology becoming better and cheaper, the survey found that 5% of households already had batteries, and another 27% were considering them.
