  Solar battery storage systems are a revolutionary way of storing energy generated from  solar panels . These systems are composed of several components, including batteries, an inverter, and a charge controller. The solar panel system captures energy from the sun and converts it into electricity. This electricity is then stored in the battery and used when the sun is unavailable. Benefits of Solar Battery Storage Systems Solar battery storage systems offer several advantages over traditional grid electricity: Solar energy is clean and renewable, meaning it does not generate emissions or pollutants. It is very cost-effective, as the batteries store energy for later use, allowing you to save money on your electric bill. Solar battery storage systems provide an additional backup power source in a power outage.

Australia Reaches New Solar Milestone

Image
  While the news around the country turns to the upcoming Federal election, one thing is for certain. Renewable energy, climate change and the phasing out of fossil fuels will once again be a hot topic. However, often significant milestones get lost in all the political wrangling, such as Australia’s recent solar energy achievement. According to the Australian PV Institute (APVI), Australia has recently clicked over the mark of 25GW of installed solar capacity throughout the country. In fact, by the start of 2022, Australia’s capacity stands at 26.9GW. A record-breaking year The total solar capacity in Australia wasn’t the only record to fall in 2021. Firstly, there was 5.26GW of solar PV installed throughout Australia over the course of the year. This was boosted by a record year for rooftop solar on homes and businesses, which saw 3.24GW installed, which was a new annual record. The rest was made up of large-scale solar infrastructure projects. On that note, utility-scale solar r...
