What is battery energy storage systems (Bess)?

As Australia continues to lead in rooftop solar installations, with over 2.2 million households now generating solar power, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) will play a crucial role in enabling sustainable energy practices .

How big is battery storage in the energy sector?

The total volume of battery use globally within the energy sector has been rapidly increasing in recent years. Recent IEA figures show that the global market for battery storage doubled in 2023 alone, with now >190 GWh of battery storage in use .

What are community-scale batteries?

Community-scale batteries pave the way for more widespread adoption of solar energy. As more households invest in solar panels and energy storage, reliance on traditional, polluting energy sources will decrease, accelerating the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy grid . Curious about the technology behind neighborhood batteries?

What is a community battery?

Community batteries make renewable energy accessible to all, ensuring that even homes without solar installations can benefit from cleaner, cheaper energy . By capturing and storing excess solar energy that would otherwise be lost, community batteries maximize the use of renewable energy resources, reducing the need for fossil fuel-generated power.
