\"SA<\/p>\n

The South Australian Council of Social Service is unsure if increasing access to SA’s Home Battery Scheme for landlords and tenants would provide any real benefits to those parties.<\/p>\n

The South Australian Government’s Home Battery Scheme commenced in October 2018. It aims to support the installation of\u00a040,000 solar battery systems across the state through the provision of a subsidy of up to $6,000 (currently) depending on the size of the battery, and low interest loans for additional or new solar power capacity as well as the balance of the battery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the 5,000 batteries installed (or pending installation) under the scheme as at December last year, only 17 were for rental properties. <\/span>The South Australian Government said this indicated more needs to be done to assist tenants and landlords, and it commenced a consultation process<\/a> on the issue that finished up at the end of last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the questions asked was whether a structured program or scheme that increased benefits to landlords would motivate landlords and tenants to install more solar and battery systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Batteries “Not A Clear Or Simple Proposition”<\/span><\/h2>\n

SACOSS has had its say on the issue.<\/p>\n

“SACOSS is supportive of access to technologies such as solar PV for rental households to reduce energy bills, however our research indicates that it is not a clear or simple proposition what benefits would accrue for a tenant or landlord with the addition of batteries to a household solar system.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The submission notes given the nature of home energy storage at this point:<\/p>\n

\u00a0“it is not surprising that the uptake of this technology for households at this time is minimal, even with a subsidy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It also mentions working out the potential benefits and savings on energy bills through the installation of a solar battery storage system<\/a> “is not transparent”.<\/p>\n

There’s now an app for that – well, an online tool anyway. SolarQuotes recently launched a solar and battery calculator<\/a> that demonstrates how payback and savings are affected by a battery and solar panels separately. Just note that the tool doesn’t take into account the SA subsidy at this point, but a post-subsidy cost for a battery system can be manually entered to base the calculations on.<\/p>\n

SACOSS says if the South Australian Government wishes to provide incentives to tenants and landlords with the main aim of providing grid support, this should be stated and transparent.<\/p>\n

“Any benefits that can accrue to tenants and landlords should be clear before such a program is introduced.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
