Rising Electricity Prices and Falling Feed-In Tariffs

Electricity rates continue to climb across Australia, particularly during the expensive evening peak times when most homes draw significantly from the grid. Concurrently, feed-in tariffs (payments you receive when you export excess solar energy back into the grid) are slowly phased out or have decreased significantly in recent years. It is here that the solar battery becomes highly practical. Instead of sending your excess solar energy into the grid for a small credit, a solar battery stores it for later use in the day. This means you can use your own solar power at night instead of buying expensive peak electricity from the grid.

Enhance Energy Independence and Savings Each Day

With a solar battery for your solar energy, you will gain greater control over your home’s power usage. Evening power, which typically comes from the grid, can be drawn from your battery storage instead. This helps reduce the consumption of electricity from the grid, resulting in a noticeable decrease in your electricity bills. Modern solar batteries for homes include smart technology, allowing you to see your energy generation, consumption and storage in real-time. This is one of the biggest reasons many NSW homes are making the shift to a solar battery.

Provide a Reliable Backup in Outages

Unexpected power outages can happen for a number of reasons, including storm damage and network maintenance. Even with solar panels, your home will still lose power during an outage without a battery storage system. A configured solar battery system, however, can serve as a backup power supply for your home, providing essential services such as lighting, communication devices, refrigeration, and the internet. For homeowners throughout the Hunter Valley region and surrounds, in both rural and semi-rural locations, power outages are more common. This reliable form of backup power provides greater security.

Future-Proofing Your Investment in Solar

With continued increases in electricity costs and ongoing changes to feed-in tariffs, a solar battery is quickly becoming a necessary addition to your solar system, helping you become more independent and keeping you powered. The addition of a solar battery is now a forward-thinking investment that guarantees greater savings, comfort, and energy independence.
