\"Sonnen<\/p>\n

TAFE SA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with German battery maker Sonnen to be the preferred accredited training partner of Sonnen solar battery installers.<\/p>\n

Sonnen was the first manufacturer eligible to participate in South Australia’s Home Battery Scheme<\/a>, which will see 40,000 households provided a grant of up to $6,000 to install solar battery storage<\/a> – low interest loans are also available.<\/p>\n

TAFE is expecting a significant increase in enrolments for its battery installation courses as a result of the scheme and several Sonnen batteries are being installed at TAFE SA’s Tonsley and Elizabeth campuses to assist with training.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Marshall Liberal Government\u2019s Home Battery Scheme is delivering immediate job opportunities, and this partnership with sonnen presents a significant opportunity for TAFE SA students to capitalise by receiving quality training in an area where skills are needed in the workforce,\u201d said<\/a> Education Minister John Gardner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sonnen has had a head start on other battery manufacturers through an initial 9-week period when only battery systems that are or will be manufactured\/assembled in the state are eligible for the subsidy. Sonnen is setting up production facilities at the former Holden site in Elizabeth, where it aims to produce 10,000 battery systems a year for the Australian and Asia-Pacific markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cSonnen\u2019s investment in TAFE SA is part of our broader strategy to deliver a quality product to meet the growing demand for reliable and affordable residential energy storage systems across Australia,” said Marc Sheldon, Managing Director, Operations and Finance of Sonnen Asia Pacific.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sonnen No Longer Robinson Crusoe<\/h2>\n

While Sonnen had no competition for the first couple of weeks of the subsidy, that has recently changed.<\/p>\n

Sonnen was joined last week by Alpha-ESS<\/a>, which will\u00a0 assemble systems locally in partnership with Minda Commercial Enterprises before moving to dedicated premises. Then earlier this week, Eguana Technologies<\/a> announced it is setting up shop in South Australia (location unknown) and that its Evolve energy storage solution has been approved for the subsidy.<\/p>\n

Whether other players will commit to SA manufacturing remains to be seen, but from January 1, battery manufacturers with energy storage solutions produced outside SA will also get a look-in.<\/p>\n

By early next year there should be a good range of solar batteries available under the Scheme. SolarQuotes founder Finn Peacock is expecting quality 10kWh storage systems to be available for around $5,000 fully installed (including subsidy – assuming it remains at the current level), a pricing point at which it’s more likely a battery will pay for itself<\/a> within its warranty period.<\/p>\n

Bill’s Battery Bonus<\/h2>\n

In other news relate to solar batteries, it was all over the interwebs yesterday that Federal Labor has committed to offering a battery subsidy nationally should it win the next Federal election. The program would start from 1 January 2020 and involve a rebate capped at $2,000 per instance for 100,000 battery systems. Labor has its sights set on a target of one million new residential solar battery systems installed across Australia by 2025.<\/p>\n

Sonnen was of course happy with the news and South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said that “imitation is the greatest form of flattery<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

SQ’s Ronald<\/a> will be posting his thoughts on the Federal Labor announcement early next week (and he’s still also working on his Alpha ESS battery review).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
