What's next in solar batteries

Our future will be battery powered


The next transition in energy is right around the corner and battery technology will play a big part in it. That's why we're already working on smart ways to harness energy storage in new and innovative ways.

Whether it's giving more Australians access to affordable battery technology and bill savings, or rewarding them when their batteries help support the grid, we're working on the ideas that will build a battery-powered future.


Use all of your solar energy

 

Typical homes have high energy demands in the mornings and evenings but solar generation is highest mid-day. Without a home battery, the solar energy produced in the daytime would be wasted. A home battery allows you to store solar energy and use it whenever you need it.

Types of Solar Batteries

Lead acid

  • Lead acid batteries are the same type of batteries you’d have in your car
  • Usually quite large and will take up a lot of space
  • Compared to other alternatives Lead acid batteries have a lower cycle life
  • Preferred choice for Off-grid systems as they are reliable and can be a cost-effective option when installing large amounts of storage

Lithium-ion

  • Lithium-ion batteries are the same type of batteries you’d have in your smartphone
  • Highly popular option for solar battery systems in Australia
  • Longer cycle life than Lead Acid batteries
  • Deeper discharge than Lead Acid batteries
  • More expensive than Lead Acid batteries
  • Compact and light

Flow batteries

  • Deeper discharge than Lead acid and Lithium-ion (100% depth-of-discharge)
  • More expensive than Lead acid and Lithium-ion
  • Can tolerate extreme temperatures

 

 

Sodium Nickle Chloride

  • Fully recyclable
  • More expensive than Lead acid and Lithium-ion
  • Lower life cycle than Lithium-ion
