With more Plum Tree residents looking to reduce their reliance on the electricity grid, many are now turning to solar battery storage as the next step. Solar batteries help homeowners lower energy bills, increase energy independence, and improve long-term sustainability.

According to daily average sunshine data from the nearest weather station at Stanage Bay, households in this community receive approximately 5.8 kWh of sunlight per day. Across 4702, rooftop solar systems collectively generate approximately 78,968,000 kWh of clean energy each year, based on an average system size of 6.6 kW. At current electricity rates, that's equivalent to around $23,690,400 of clean energy at grid electricity costs annually.

Solar Battery energy storage is growing just as rapidly, with 176 battery systems now installed across 4702. Together, these systems provide 4,011 kWh of stored energy capacity, with the average household storing around 22.8 kWh. This means local solar households can typically power their homes for 9.1 hours each night using clean energy they generated themselves during the day.

So instead of sending excess solar energy back to the grid for lower returns, Plum Tree homeowners are now storing and using their own clean power around the clock. This smart approach not only reduces reliance on expensive coal-generated electricity from the grid, it protects against blackouts, improves sustainability, and maximises their solar investment and long-term financial returns.
