Why go for a solar battery in Canberra

Blackout protection

1 – Blackout protection to create lasting comfort

Extreme weather events, such as storms and bushfires, can occur in the ACT and surrounding region. Such events can affect the electrical grid. With more EV charging also affecting the grid of the future, the power supply in future years could be more fragile.

During grid disruptions, solar batteries can serve as a dependable backup power source that maintains basic services and improves energy independence for residences and commercial buildings. Solar batteries will allow you and your family to use your solar generation 24/7 and in case of blackouts you still can use your electrical appliances from fridge to washing machine and lighting.

2 – Batteries make more and more financial sense

If you purchase a solar & battery combo, the investment paybacks are improved if you also sign up to a VPP scheme. Overall due to the less attractive Feed-in Tariffs it is much smarter to store your excess power in your own batteries and then use it at night.

Solar battery users can save a large amount of money on their electricity bills by storing excess solar energy and using it at times of high demand or at night. The same electricity can also be used for EV charging, helping further to reduce your living expenses, as now you literally drive your car on free sunshine.

3 – Environmental leadership

The ACT Government has declared that they have the objective of Canberra’s becoming carbon neutral by 2045.  It is supported in this goal by many locals who recognise environmental responsibility is a must – for our future generations.

Canberra’s residents do support the initiatives to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this goal, solar batteries are essential because they allow more solar to be utilised during the day and night.

Canberra offers unique solar & battery support

Nowadays, many customers exploring solar decide to install a solar & battery combo, often due to the purchase of an EV or because the feed-in tariffs are now relatively low. This can then amount to a significant outlay, and in such cases, finance is often a great option.

Here in Canberra, the ACT Government supports the Sustainable Household Scheme so that homeowners can harness interest-free finance to install solar or a battery, making the upfront cost nil or very little. There are some conditions to the scheme, mainly that “the unimproved land value has to be less than $750,000.”

So speak to our SolarHub consultant about finance offers for your battery installation, including the Sustainable Household Scheme.

SolarHub’s unique local battery achievements

In the last decade, we’ve installed over 3,000 batteries in the ACT and beyond. This represents over 35,000 kWh of storage in solar systems with a total of over 15,000 kW in discharge capacity. There is no other local company that can match our expertise and experience.

Looked at it differently – these solar batteries have enough storage to run Canberra Centre for more than 1.7 days (assuming 20,000 kWh a day in consumption) or power Canberra Central Hospital for 10 days continuously. Alternatively, all the batteries SolarHub has installed can supply electricity for 1,600 local ACT households for 1 day.

The close to 15,000 kW of power that these batteries can discharge could run 23 light rail trains all at once (assuming 600 kW of use per train), the equivalent of 14 GIO Stadiums, or 1.5 times the Empire State Building (it uses 9,500 kW on average).

Conclusion

In conclusion, solar batteries in combination with a solar PV array offer a lot more advantages than just basic solar system. Canberra is ideally positioned to lead the global adoption of renewable energy and serve as a model for other cities. So call SolarHub today on 1300 213 422 and find out how you can have a peace of mind solution and very low power bills in the future.
