Installation of local community electricity batteries to soak up excess local electrical energy, stabilise the local grid, export local excess energy and reduce our need for more long distance electrical grid cables.
Reduce local grid instability, lower electricity transmission costs and reduce solar energy wastage during excess solar days
One community battery can support 100 houses. Transmission lines are expensive & not wanted by many people. Rooftop PV on houses in a big city can generate 100% of their requirements. Australia can get there first. Average system size now 10 KW & growing.
Daytime solar output is excessive and is driving wholesale electricity prices negative. Storage is the key to addressing this. Localised storage can reduce the need for large scale transmission lines
