Community battery storage systems are a method for better utilising residential solar power production and optimising household power consumption.
These systems often exist as large community batteries, that store surplus energy from household's unused solar power, and distributes it back to homes during peak energy consumption periods.

Community battery storage systems are a method for better utilising residential solar power production and optimising household power consumption.
These systems often exist as large community batteries, that store surplus energy from household's unused solar power, and distributes it back to homes during peak energy consumption periods.
These systems may be beneficial not only environmentally, but also financially. Residents may save on energy costs given they are able to store and later use energy produced by solar, rather than purchasing from the grid at high prices.

Areas of Investigation
The Enitiate project team investigated "Front of the Meter" in comparison to "Back of the Meter" models. The team also compared a variety of ownership models and their financial implications.
The team focussed a portion of the study into assessing the eligibility requirements of a variety of funding sources, including government grants.

The Enitiate project team investigated "Front of the Meter" in comparison to "Back of the Meter" models. The team also compared a variety of ownership models and their financial implications.
The team focussed a portion of the study into assessing the eligibility requirements of a variety of funding sources, including government grants.
Lastly, utilising a Python script, the team numerically modelled the financial and emissions outputs of various implementations. This included predicted savings for residents and an analysis of revenue streams.
