‘Off like a rocket’: Australian Battery rebate prompts massive rooftop power surge

1. Yep I’m one of those who jumped onto the rebate and got a battery. The economics are line-ball even with the 30% rebate, but being able to produce and use electricity during a blackout was also a big appeal.

   My house had its first day off 100% self-sufficiency last week. Didn’t import a single kW of electricity.

2. From the article:

   “You don’t need swarms of lawyers, merchant bankers, accountants, environmental planning, people, community consultation, all the things that go into building large-scale renewables. You don’t need any approvals.

   You don’t need any engineers, you just need your local sparky.”

   – Simple and economic
