\"Battery<\/p>\n

South Australia’s battery subsidy has launched – but in a discussion with ABC Radio Adelaide’s David Bevan yesterday, SolarQuotes’ Finn Peacock’s advice was to consider waiting.<\/p>\n

Applications have opened<\/a> for the state’s Home Battery Scheme<\/a>, which provides grants of up to $6,000 to help pay for the installation of a residential solar battery storage system<\/a>. Also on offer are low-interest loans for the balance of the battery and a new solar power system if required.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only will up to 40,000 households enjoy reduced electricity prices by purchasing a home battery system, but the installation of these systems will reduce demand on the network,\u201d said<\/a> Minister for Energy and Mining Dan van Holst Pellekaan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the devils in the detail is for the first 9 weeks, the only batteries covered under the scheme are systems manufactured or assembled in South Australia.<\/p>\n

Discussing the situation on ABC Radio Adelaide yesterday morning, SolarQuotes<\/a> founder and CEO Finn Peacock says the only battery manufacturer he knows of that would qualify during the initial 9 weeks is Sonnen. The German company is kicking off assembly operations at the former GM Holden manufacturing site in Elizabeth.<\/p>\n

While Sonnen’s battery<\/a> is of good quality and local assembly means local jobs, its 10kWh system is expected to cost around $9,000 after the subsidy. Finn says purchasers can expect a 10kWh battery to save them around $2 a day in a best-case scenario, meaning in most situations the Sonnen battery won’t pay for itself before the 10-year warranty runs out.<\/p>\n

Wider Range, Cheaper Batteries Post-Xmas<\/h2>\n

In January, other manufacturers will get a look-in on the Home Battery Scheme. Finn expects some good quality 10kWh storage systems to be available for around $5,000 fully installed after the subsidy; making it more likely a battery will pay for itself<\/a> within its warranty period.<\/p>\n

But don’t count on all battery manufacturers following the trend of lowering prices. Tesla upped the price of Powerwall 2<\/a> (again) for the Australian market very recently – read into that what you will.<\/p>\n

A risk with waiting is if the Marshall Government decides to reduce the subsidy. This is something it has said it plans to do at some point – but without giving any timeframe as to when this may occur. Finn criticised this aspect, saying it is akin to “manufactured scarcity”.<\/p>\n

As in his discussion with ABC Radio’s Sonya Feldhoff early last month<\/a>, Finn also said a much better bang for taxpayer buck could have been gained through pouring the grant funding into solar energy generation, and in particular for renters.<\/p>\n

Also raised during the segment were recycling issues – what will happen to these 40,000 battery systems once they reach the end of their service life? Currently, there’s no formal scheme in place for recycling the units.<\/p>\n

The full discussion with ABC Radio Adelaide’s David Bevan, including a Q&A with callers, can be found here<\/a> (segment starts at 3 minutes, 15 seconds in and runs for approximately 20 minutes).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
