The most recent of these announcements comes from German clean energy company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonnen-batterie.com\/en-us\/start\" target=\"_blank\">Sonnen<\/a>.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Sonnen chief marketing officer Philipp Schroder emphasised the affordability of the solar and storage package which includes not just the battery and panels but also the inverter, an energy manager and technology to measure and communicate consumption.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAustralians are excited about the opportunities for self-consumption and energy storage right now,\u201d he was reported as saying by RenewEconomy. \u201cWith our SonnenBatterie we can offer them a real choice of becoming independent and using clean power for an affordable price.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Intriguing enough, however the announcement also included a section that will send shivers down the collective spine of the fossil fuel lobby. This was the German company\u2019s opinion that it was looking to introduce Sonnen battery storage as the anchor of a peer-to-peer trading network in the country in the not-too-distant future. If successful, it will put further pressure on fossil fuel utilities as their mismanagement and ever-increasing prices drive more people to look for an affordable clean energy alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Peer-to-peer trading is based on community sharing of solar energy. This occurs where people without renewable energy can access it from those in their neighbourhood who have solar energy through a microgrid. The situation is a winner for both parties with those without solar panels able to access renewable energy at a reasonable price and those with able to sell their excess energy at more than they now receive by feeding back into the grid.<\/p>\n<p>Sonnen has already rolled out the scheme in its native Germany and trailblazing schemes exist in The Netherlands and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>There are also viable solar and storage schemes in Australia. Clean energy analyst Giles Parkinson also talks glowingly of the future of microgrids in Australia in a 2015 article.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe creation of micro-grids is seen by many leading players as an obvious solution to Australia\u2019s soaring electricity costs, where the grid has to cover huge areas, at the cost of massive cross-subsidies that support it,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Microgrids make sense in a country as vast as ours as it reduces the need for poles and wires across long distances to small towns and remote communities. The idea of decentralising the grid is being taken seriously in a number of states such as Queensland and W.A. where distance is a major factor in delivering power to small, remote communities.<\/p>\n<p>So will a peer-to-peer solar trading scheme get off the ground as Sonnen expects? Will Sonnen battery storage and solar panels prove to be the catalyst for a series of microgrids and community clean energy? Certainly the company thinks so. What do you think? A viable future for microgrids? Or just a pipe dream?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The surge of popularity of solar and storage in Oz has triggered a battery storage invasion as companies are keen to test our country as an ideal market.
