Should this eventuate, it would mean a stunning 50-fold increase over the next ten years with a potential worth of around $24 billion.<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If they have a tool, a battery, that can allow them to store the surplus power during the day and use it at night, it means they&#8217;re going to get greater control than they already have over their power bill,&#8221; said the Climate Council\u2019s Andrew Stock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In identifying the \u201cgreater control over power bills\u201d, Mr Stock underlined one of the three key areas why the Council believes Australia could become a world leader in solar and battery storage. The other two being 1. The popularity of solar energy with ordinary Australians and 2. The abundance of sun in our country.<\/p>\n<p>Due to a combination of over investment in infrastructure and in some cases mismanagement, Australians have been subject to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/radionational\/programs\/backgroundbriefing\/2014-04-27\/5406022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enormous rises in power bills<\/a>. Efforts by fossil fuel lobbyists to blame clean energy subsidies for skyrocketing bills have been disproven by studies from independent bodies such as IPART.<\/p>\n<p>The report found that the availability of cost effective storage would mean Australians who are currently paying high energy bills would be able to store and use electricity from solar panels. So could going completely off grid become a possibility in the near future?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, according to the Climate Council\u2019s CEO Amanda McKenzie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur analysis show that, by 2018 going off grid by installing batteries could be cost competitive with staying connected to the grid,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>While reports of the death of the grid may be premature, the report shows the focus of owning household solar is about to change in a dramatic way. Those with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">battery storage<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/cost\/\">solar panels<\/a> will be increasingly independent of the grid, perhaps ushering in new and revolutionary forms of the grids, such as microgrids, particularly in our regional areas.<\/p>\n<p>The Climate Council\u2019s findings definitely point to these developments happening sooner rather than later \u2014 particularly as the cost of battery storage and solar panels decrease. Do you agree? What time frame do you think is practical?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How long before solar and battery storage becomes the cheapest way to access electricity in Australia?
