Sometimes it does feel like we have been charged to have sunlight, moonlight, street lights, even the light at the end of the tunnel, isn’t it?

Like countless Australians, Ms. Bradbury has been feeling the sting of soaring electricity prices. As featured in the ABC News recently,

It got to the stage where you’re actually afraid to open your electricity bill,

Especially with the transient kids, I could get one bill for electricity, which would be around the $600, $700 mark.

If I had one, two, three  here over summer, the bills could be as high as $2,000.”

Electrifying the family home

To cope with this financial burden, Ms. Bradbury took a bold step a couple of years ago.  She invested in some batteries, new solar panels, and a suite of smart home technology.  This decision has not only significantly reduced her electricity bills but has also provided her with greater energy independence.

Ms. Bradbury’s story is a testament to the growing trend of Australians turning to solar power as a solution to rising energy costs. By embracing renewable energy, homeowners can take control of their energy consumption and reduce their reliance on traditional power grids.

Smart metre technology

 

Thanks to the latest smart-meter techonology that many energy retailers and distributors are deploying, homeowners like Ms Bradbury won’t have to pay a power bill for seven years!

All of it’s automated. Me being an average person, I don’t have time to try and work out what’s the best price, when’s the best price to be using it. I am quite happy for somebody else to be doing that for me, and I am still getting some benefit,” Ms. Bradbury said.

Unpredictable weather patterns this summer

With unpredictable weather patterns predicted for the upcoming summer, a combination of residential solar and battery storage, coupled with other energy-efficient gadgets, is becoming increasingly crucial for future-proofing homes.

By harnessing the power of the sun and storing excess energy for later use, homeowners can mitigate the impact of rising energy costs and potential power outages.
