Listed Frontier Energy has revealed some surprising details about the costs and revenue options for its proposed solar and battery hybrid project.
Off-grid energy storage is also cost competitive with diesel, meaning that remote communities throughout Australia increasingly could go off the energy grid with solar and storage.
Check out GES Energy''s comparison of solar system costs across Australian states. Find out how prices vary and what factors to consider before making your choice.
Regional Insights: The national average solar system size has stabilised at 9.23 kW. Western Australia installed the smallest system size on average, at 7.48 kW per system, followed by
The solar backup functionality adds to the cost of a hybrid system by anywhere between $1,500 – $3,500. It is possible to buy a battery ready system in preparation for the purchase of a battery in the short to medium-term. A battery ready system comes with a hybrid inverter so that a new battery can fit straight into the system at a later date.
A guide to hybrid solar systems featuring solar panels and a battery. A hybrid system is a grid-connected panel and battery system that can store the excess power generated from your panels in a battery for later use. Hybrid systems provide more energy independence as they can: store solar power and potentially provide power back up.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates that by 2020, solar batteries will be the dominant form of battery storage. Analysis by the Smart Energy Council from the survey and interviews with market participants for this report suggests battery manufacturing costs are likely to fall in Australia by around 15% each year to 2020.
As a guide, a 6.6kW panel system with a 10kWh battery will cost anywhere between $16,000 – $21,000. This table below compares the cost differences between the systems: Our solar calculator allows you to analyse the difference between hybrid systems and solar panels.
A hybrid system will not pay back as quickly as a solar panel system due to the high cost of batteries. Payback and savings figures can differ significantly depending on your electricity consumption habits.
There is no national register of energy storage systems in Australia, making it difficult to estimate the number of energy storage systems. This analysis is based on existing Clean Energy Regulator data, a national survey by the Smart Energy Council, interviews with energy market participants and a comprehensive literature review.
