Australians have embraced energy efficiency and over the
last few years. Almost 2 million homes have had solar power installed on their
roof top, but now the industry and the Government are looking at ways to make solar
power and our homes even more efficient, saving the investor money and helping
to reduce residential emissions.
The energy sector is headed for a revolution and it will
begin with the introduction of battery storage to Australian homes. These
systems will be synchronised with existing solar systems, if unsuitable for
solar it will connect to your energy meter and offset peak power consumption. This will transform the way we use energy in our homes, just
as solar has. We will be able to store energy produced by our solar systems and use it in the
evening, saving money by reducing the peak energy costs.
Energy companies are
already seeing the potential with Energy Australia and SPAusnet all with pilots
in their networks. Aussie Solar’s TM5000 Battery Storage system has an extra
feature which switches over and uses battery power during a blackout.
Making your home more energy efficient does make a huge
difference, you will be saving money, you will be investing in a smarter way to
utilise your solar power and the power you buy from the network will be reduced.
You’re protected in a blackout and you will have power to selected appliances.
Let’s not forget that your decision does impact on the environment by
minimising your reliance on the network.
