Battery Powered Homes
Description
There's a power revolution heading for our homes- a device that allows you to take power into your own hands. It's batteries, home batteries, and they've been called the holy grail of renewables- the key to the transition away from fossil fuels. Within five years, over a million Australian homes are expected to have one. So what do you need to know about this disruptive technology- a technology that offers every home the potential for 24 hour renewable power? In this much anticipated Catalyst special, Dr. Jonica Newby gives us the A to Z of home batteries- how they work, why you will want one, how they will change the way we consume electricity, and what they mean for the future of the nation's and the world's power generation.
