As the temperature rises and the Bayside sun comes out in full force, now is the ideal time to take control of your power bills with solar and battery storage. Heading into summer, demand for solar energy and batteries is surging once again – and with new federal rebates available, there’s never been a better moment to make the switch.
Solar panels naturally produce the most energy when you need it most on those hot, sunny days when air-conditioning, fridges and pool pumps are all working hard. By adding a battery, households can store that excess solar power to use in the evening, during blackouts, or when grid prices spike. Together, solar and battery systems can dramatically cut electricity costs, boost energy independence, and provide peace of mind when storms roll through.
Right now, two major federal rebates are helping homeowners make the move. The long-standing Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme continues to reduce the up-front cost of installing solar panels. In addition, the new Cheaper Home Batteries Pro-gram – a $2.3 billion initiative – is offering households a substantial saving to the cost of a battery installation. This program has seen strong interest across the country, with homeowners eager to secure their rebate before demand peaks through summer.
“We’ve seen a huge increase in enquiries since the new battery rebate launched,” says the team at Goodhew Electrical & Solar, based in Cleveland. “Homeowners that have been putting it off and waiting for the right time to invest in a battery are now find-ing that the numbers really do stack up.”
