Australia?s storm build buzz for home energy storage

Recent and more frequent fierce weather in Australia would be making some Aussie households think more about acquiring a home energy storage system.

Whether it?s torrential rain, howling winds, lightning strikes, baking temperatures or even just human error; electricity infrastructure can be severely affected for extended periods.

However, there are ways solar households can keep the lights on during a blackout event. Some choose to incorporate a small deep cycle battery?based off grid solar power?system for emergency supply; but the Next Big Thing is the fully integrated home energy storage system.
