Community Batteries

An alternative to Solar Home Batteries is the community battery concept, which can provide cost effect access to energy storage including to non-solar owners.

Essentially a much larger battery that is shared across a community, whether that be a street, a town, a shopping centre etc, with the purpose of sharing/storing excess solar electricity and using that at times when solar isn’t available. This significantly reduces the reliance on the grid & need for lengthy transmission lines for that community as well as the added benefit of a shared cost generally meaning cheaper access to energy storage when compared to each individual purchasing a battery ESS(& Solar) .
