Why should you use a home battery system in Victoria?

Victoria's clean energy transition is accelerating, and households are at the forefront. With energy prices rising and feed-in tariffs dropping, more homeowners are turning to battery storage to take control of their energy use. A home battery system allows you to store excess solar power generated during the day and use it when the sun goes down.

Why is Victoria a good place to store batteries?

Victoria is the home of big batteries and has legislated storage targets of at least 2.6 GW by 2030 and 6.3 GW by 2035 to provide crucial support for more renewable capacity. Storage is a vital part of our electricity grid. In the future, much of our energy will be generated closer to where it is used and the way we use it will be more efficient.
