The idea of
generating power from the sun and storing it in a battery has drawn a little
closer.
Supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) a
$3.3 million trial of a combination of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) with
battery storage is happening at a new housing development in Alkimos Beach,
north of Perth in Western Australia.
ARENA CEO Ivor Frischknecht said the model being trialled
included new tariff options for consumers and had the potential to be
replicated in future residential developments across Australia.
A release from ARENA - “Residential rooftop solar with battery storage a step closer” – explains what is happening at Alkimos Beach.
