Another #FarmerPower event, this time in Shepparton to help northern Victorian #dairyfarmers understand some of the #renewableenergy options that are available to dairy farmers. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Dairy farmers are finding it extremely difficult to make a decent wage and their power usage is a large part of their overheads. We talked to many dairy farmers about solar battery storage systems to help them learn the pros and cons of different battery technologies. Is it affordable? What is the latest technology? Will it work for me? 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 When consumers go online to compare different batteries there is so much conflicting information available it is very difficult to get a clear picture of what is available and to understand what is happening in the industry. What's important is you compare similar products and don't just listen to what salespeople are telling you. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 If a product has been in use for a number of years the quoted figures are more likely to be reliable than if a product is new and hasn't yet been tested in real life conditions. Generally batteries are tested in factories at 25 degrees. This can produce different results than are experienced in real life when temperatures vary widely. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Currently there are no relevant battery standards in Australia as the current battery standards only really apply to lead acid batteries which have been the main energy storage batteries available until quite recently. This means companies that are trying to sell you batteries can make any claims they like regarding depth of discharge and numbers of cycles of their new batteries. This is why you will find very different claims from the same batteries. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 It is important that when looking at ROI that people take into account all factors of the lifetime cost of any renewable energy system, including energy storage. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 #p4farmers #energystorage #alternativeenergy #Batterystorage #Solarbatterystorage #solaraustralia #gridedge #FIAMM #moltensaltbattery #saltbattery #cleanenergy #prosandconsofbatterystorage (at Shepparton, Victoria)

Global Energy Storage to Double 6 Times by 2030, Matching Solar’s Spectacular Rise 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 The energystorageindustry is set to rise dramatically -- for those companies that can play the long game.  🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Bloomberg New Energy Finance released a report Tuesday that forecasts the global energy storage market will “double six times” from now to 2030, from a meager starting point of less than 5 gigawatt-hours last year, to more than 300 gigawatt-hours and 125 gigawatts of capacity by the end of the next decade. An estimated $103 billion will be invested in energy storage over that time period. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 The trajectory for energy storage mirrors the market expansion that solar went through from 2000 to 2015, when the share of solar PV as a percentage of total generation doubled seven times.  🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 This rapid global growth rate tracks well with the U.S. energy storage market forecast from GTM Research, which projects a twelvefold growth in the U.S. alone between 2016 and 2022, to reach 7.2 gigawatt-hours, or 2.6 gigawatts, of capacity.  🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 This growth is going to be driven by both cost reductions for batteries and associated systems, and a rising need for more gigawatts of flexibility to manage the ups and downs of an increasingly wind- and solar-powered grid, 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 70 percent of global capacity through 2030 will be installed in eight countries: the U.S., China, Japan, India, Germany, U.K., Australia and South Korea. The primary driver in each will be managing an increasingly renewable and intermittent energy resource mix. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 If you would like to be part of the solution by utilising quality renewable energy products and would like to know more about getting safe, reliable battery storage for your own home, business or micro-grid visit us at http://quantum.GridEdge.com.au 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 #energystorage #alternativeenergy #Batterystorage #alternativeenergy #solaraustralia #gridedge #Sodiumnickelchloridebattery #saltbattery #moltensaltbattery #FIAMM #FZSoNick #saltwaterbattery #cleanenergy #thefutureofenergy #offgrid (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

15,000 scientists just sent out an SOS -- a "warning to humanity" that if we don't stop polluting, our planet is doomed. 🌄🌅🌄🌅 The facts are terrifying: species are going extinct at 1000 times the natural rate. 90% of the Great Barrier Reef is dead or dying. Oceans are so choked with plastic that fish are addicted to eating it. 🌄🌅🌄🌅 But scientists have discovered something else -- a kind of miracle that could save us. If we can protect 50% of our planet from human exploitation, our ecosystem will be able to stabilise and regenerate. Life on earth will recover! Our governments have already promised to protect a quarter of the planet, so we know it’s possible. But no other global movement is championing this miracle recovery plan! 🌄🌅🌄🌅 It’s up to us. 🌄🌅🌄🌅 If you would like to be part of the solution by utilising quality renewable energy products and would like to know more about getting battery storage for your own home, business or micro-grid visit us at http://quantum.GridEdge.com.au 🌄🌅🌄🌅 #energystorage #alternativeenergy #Batterystorage #saltbattery #cleanenergy #climatechange #gridedge #FIAMM #FZSoNick #Batterybackup #bestbattery #futureenergy #Solarbattery #EnergyStorageSystems #Solarbatterystorage (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

Accelerating Climate Action [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Australia is failing to tackle climate change with emissions rising and a lack of any coherent, long-term national approach to reduce emissions in the short, medium or long term. We are known as a global climate laggard. [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Failure to rapidly and deeply reduce greenhouse gas emissions increases the risk of deteriorating human health and well-being, massive forced migration and conflict, crippling economic damage around the world, and the Earth’s sixth great extinction event. • [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Australia is highly vulnerable to many of the consequences of a changing climate, from worsening heatwaves, droughts and bushfires, to devastating coral reef bleaching, and most of our population centres being exposed to sea level rise. [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Amongst the G20 countries, Australia’s emission reduction target – a reduction of 26-28% on a 2005 baseline – is unusually weak, nowhere near what is required for us to play our fair share in meeting 2°C Paris target. [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] • Renewable energy has already replaced ageing, polluting fossil fuels as the energy system of the future, with the installation of solar and wind systems globally doubling every 5.4 years. • Maintaining this rate of renewable expansion could see the world’s energy systems completely eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.

Battery capacity depends on user needs 🌞🌞🌞 There are many things to take into account when looking at an #energystorage battery for your home or business. These include what you want your #energystoragebattery to do as well as its safety, performance, operating temperature and end of life recyclability. 🌞🌞🌞 Unfortunately many people only look at the initial purchase cost of batteries and this is what they use to compare different batteries. This doesn't take into account what a battery may cost them over its lifetime or the cost to the environment of both the battery's manufacture and end of life disposal. To make a realistic comparison of a battery's cost you need to consider it's full "cradle to grave" impact on all areas, including its safety during operation and it's environmental impact. 🌞🌞🌞 One of the first things you need to consider is what you want your battery to do. Do you just want to shift some power to be used at night or do you want to be energy independent, even if you stay connected to the grid? The answers to this question may help to determine the size of the battery you need. 🌞🌞🌞 To do this you need to look at the way you live and the way and times you use power. If you only want to shift some of the solar PV power generated during the day to be used at night you won't need as large a battery as you will if you want to become energy independent or even to take yourself off the grid, you also have to consider the way you live as you will no longer have a limitless supply of power (not that we do in reality anyway). 🌞🌞🌞 If you would like to know more about getting safe, reliable and recyclable #batterystorage for your own home, business or micro-grid to increase your energy independence visit us at http://quantum.GridEdge.com.au. We have a number of different sized systems that can cater to your budget and household needs. 🌞🌞🌞 #alternativeenergy #gridedge #cleanenergy #renewables #saltbattery #FIAMM #FZSoNick #Sodiumnickelchloridebattery #Solarbatterystorage #bestbattery #investinrenewables     (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

Australian states and territories are powering ahead, developing policies that will meet the federal government’s internationally agreed greenhouse gas emission targets, with South Australia, the ACT and Tasmania leading the race. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Compared on a series of measures including penetration of renewable energy, the percentage of households with solar, as well as emissions and renewable energy targets, the Northern Territory, Western Australia and New South Wales are at the back of the pack, with Victoria and Queensland in the middle. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 in the midst of the ongoing federal policy vacuum, every state and territory besides Western Australia has “gone it alone” and developed strong renewable energy and emissions reduction policies. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 The shift to energy storage is now unstoppable. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Australia needs to be looking seriously at energy generation using a combination of solar pv, wind generation and safe, reliable and recyclable battery storage. Beyond Zero Emissions have proven it can be done on a national basis. However, we need governments to get on board to support community projects that are working to make this happen. The responsibility can't all be left to grassroots people power. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 Governments need to support community groups that are already working to build local renewable energy solutions with renewable energy jobs like Mirboo North Community Energy Hub (MNCEH), @earthworkercoop and @votv who are working hard to bring safe renewable energy to the LatrobeValley. 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 If you would like to be part of the solution by utilising quality renewable energy products and would like to know more about getting safe, reliable battery storage for your own home, business or micro-grid visit us at http://quantum.GridEdge.com.au 🌄🌅🌄🌅🌄🌅 #energystorage #alternativeenergy #Batterystorage #alternativeenergy #solarstoragebatteries #solaraustralia #gridedge #Sodiumnickelchloridebattery #saltbattery #moltensaltbattery #FIAMM #FZSoNick #saltwaterbattery #cleanenergy #thefutureofenergy #offgrid
