Today, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has announced a major new collaborative industry program to drive this forward.
ARENA, Audrey Zibelman, battery, consumers, innovation and technology, media release, renewables, video, newsWhile rooftop solar panels are now common on Australian homes and businesses, energy storage units have been less so as the equipment required has been expensive and often complex. A rapid drop in prices, coupled with the evolution of lithium-ion batteries, and now government subsidies in some States and Territories, is changing things.
