Why Home Batteries Are Finally Worth It
An interview with Sarah Aubrey from Electrify This
For the last decade, the advice around home batteries has been consistent: hold off, they’re not quite ready yet.
That story has changed.
In this 20-minute interview, I sit down with Sarah Aubrey from Electrify This to unpack why batteries are finally a worthwhile investment for Australian households.
What we cover in the conversation:
Why the time has come — how improvements in technology and pricing have shifted the game.
The wholesale energy market — how to make money from your battery and solar without feed-in tarrifs
Real-world results — how Sarah is financially getting ahead with her own solar and battery system.
Future-proofing your home — including provisions for electric vehicles and other steps in home electrification.
If you’ve been holding back on batteries, this interview might be the confidence you’ve been looking for.
