Recognising the importance of distributed energy resources and the value they could provide in the energy system of the future, the NSW Government has set ambitious targets for driving uptake in home energy storage technologies. Across all types of providers, audits of installations delivered through government programs have identified high levels of non-compliance with Australian wiring, solar installation and battery installation standards (AS/NZS 3000, 5033 and 5139 respectively). Customer confusion and choice paralysis is compounded by the high levels of variability on quoted system costs by different suppliers across the market.
