Petition Include Solar PV and battery storage in the Greener Homes Grant

This would open up Solar PV and battery storage up to more households, enabling more homes to save money on their electricity bills and earn revenue through the smart export guarantee as well as reducing their carbon footprint.

More details

We believe the current grid and way we use energy is unsustainable. One way of addressing this is by reducing reliance on the grid. This is where Solar PV and battery will help. Spending now on reducing the reliance on the grid will save countless billions on upgrades.
