Batteries could help problems seen in Australia say RES, Lloyd’s Register

A recent survey indicates strong support from Australian farmers for the nation moving to 100% renewable energy sourced electricity, and significant uptake of solar and battery storage in Australia’s agricultural sector.

A major new study by the CSIRO and Australia’s main networks lobby has highlighted the key role consumer-installed and owned distributed renewable energy and battery storage will play in the electricity system of the not-too distant future.

Australian solar households wanting to further boost their energy efficiency and independence may increasingly embrace the “smart home” concept next year and investigate home automation options.
