A widespread heatwave has large parts of the country’s interior expected to reach highs of above 40 degrees Celsius on Monday, 16th December 2024.
Across the nation temperatures are 12 to 16 Celsius above average, meaning averages of high 30s to low 40s for coastal areas and low 40s for inland areas.
The Australian summer is here, just in time for Christmas and New Year!
While heatwaves are challenging to predict, they can significantly impact the cost of living during the summer months, not to mention the havoc when coupled with power outages.
What can you do to be more proactive?
Proactive measures such as energy-efficient home practices and climate-resilient infrastructure can help mitigate some of these effects.
Solar PV: The widespread installation of rooftop solar PV systems plays a crucial role in decreasing overall electricity demand, especially during peak periods in summer heatwaves. However, it’s important to note that this may shift the peak demand to later in the day as sunlight decreases.
Solar Battery: Fortunately, the future adoption of batteries to store the excess power generated by rooftop solar is expected to counterbalance this shift, making the overall impact more favorable. If you have installed solar panels on your rooftop, bravo. You’re ready for the next secret weapon: a solar battery! 🌞
Solar batteries hold the key to unlocking the full potential of renewable energy. As sunlight is converted into electricity by the solar panels, any surplus energy generated during sunny days can be captured and stored within these solar batteries for future use.
When electricity is needed yet the sun isn’t shining, e.g. during night time, overcast days or in the event of a blackout, the stored energy is converted back into usable electricity and readily supplied to your home. Solar batteries can ensure a continuous power supply all year round.
