South Australia offers up to $6,000 grants for home battery installations, Giles Parkinson, RenewEconomy
Details of the biggest government incentive for battery storage to date in Australia to subsidise the installation of home battery storage in up to 40,000 homes have been announced by the South Australian Liberal government. The state has more than 230,000 rooftop systems, potentially producing, at times, more solar power than the overall demand in the state. The storage solution allows the management of the excess power and the creation of a virtual power plant by linking and management by a third party providing grid services.
