Solar Batteries Melbourne & Victoria
sonnen home batteries are now available across Australia, including Melbourne and throughout Regional Victoria, so if you don’t want to pay for electricity that can be generated, for free, at home from the sun, there are a variety of options available to you.
The potential solar savings you could enjoy with a solar battery depends on a range of factors, such as your location in Melbourne or Victoria, the setup of your solar panels and your energy usage patterns, but most households will find they can start lowering their energy costs immediately.
Get an immediate estimation on your potential solar savings here, just by answering a few simple questions about your household and location.
Victorian Electricity Prices & Grid Information
Melbourne and Victoria boast one of Australia’s most developed energy markets, however, with energy prices rising rapidly, the once plentiful opportunities available for customers to save on electricity are rapidly dwindling. That means switching to an energy retailer offering more competitive supply and usage charges, or opting for a ‘flexible pricing’ tariff – once a popular way to lower energy bills – no longer has the same positive impact it once did. The energy market is failing Victorians, who are increasingly facing escalating energy prices and energy supply issues – so, it’s only natural many are looking to solar to take control of their energy costs, and lower their carbon footprint in the process.
Solar Feed-In Tariffs (FiTs)
If you currently have solar panels and contribute solar energy to the grid, you’ll know only too well that solar feed-in tariffs are falling rapidly. Along with growth in large-scale renewable energy projects, it’s also a case of supply and demand – as more household solar goes into the grid, it floods the market and becomes less valuable, resulting in falling feed-in tariffs. Even in Victoria, where the minimum price retailers pay is mandated, households can expect further drops in feed-in tariffs. This has further accelerated home solar battery storage uptake, with even more households investing in a home battery to provide energy independence and protection from rising electricity prices.
