Solar energy describes energy produced by the sun’s heat and light. Solar power is created when solar energy is converted into electricity or utilised to heat air, water, or other substances. Fuels made from the sun, like hydrogen, can be generated.
It is possible to increase the stability and flexibility of Australia’s power grid by utilising energy storage technologies, including batteries, solar thermal storage and pumped hydro. Wind and solar energy can be stored and used to generate electricity constantly.
The Australian federal government also provided generous government rebates, incentives and subsidies to make energy storage affordable, which can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing and installing a solar system.
There are two main types of solar power technology; solar photovoltaic and solar thermal.
