In July 2025 the Federal Government launched their Cheaper Home Batteries Program, so it was an obvious choice of topic for our series of free events. We partnered with Glen Morris of SolarQuip, and Lloyd Heathfield from Yarra Energy Foundation, who both gave clear and informative presentations about topics such as:
- How big a solar system do you need?
- What inverter will do the job for you?
- What is the Australian Governments Cheaper Home Batteries Program all about?
- Are batteries really worth the investment?
- What else should I be thinking about?
The event was recorded, so if you are considering installing solar or home batteries, you can view the event below.
