Synopsis
With Australian households reaching 15.1GW of Solar installed in 2023 (a ratio of 1:3), solar has been a huge success story for the path to net zero, and communities have enabled this. With up to 50% of electricity being supplied by residential solar at times, community batteries hold huge potential for the market.
Often an afterthought, what are the key considerations of the ‘community’, in community batteries? How is the best way to unlock the transition to net zero, through community engagement?
- How to engage the community, best?
- What does the consumer need to be brought on board?
- Where can community batteries go?
