The driven force of energy storage market

Australia's industrial and commercial photovoltaic market is booming. According to previous research from the Australian Clean Energy Commission (CEC), commercial photovoltaic installed capacity increased by 45% and residential photovoltaics increased by 43% in 2018. In 2018, rooftop photovoltaic power generation reached a record high, and new capacity in commercial and residential markets up to 1.55GW. This makes the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaics exceed 8.1GW.

Saving electricity is a major concern for Australian industrial and commercial energy customers. In recent years, innovative PPA and services for industrial and commercial customers have emerged with many flexible new photovoltaic contract models and plans. Steel giants Bluescope Steel and ESCO Pacific have signed the largest solar PPA to date with a capacity of 88MW. Simec Zen Energy, CUB and the University of New South Wales also successfully signed the PPA. Australian company Coles also signed a PPA with Metka EGN to purchase electricity from three photovoltaic power plants.

The Australian government is vigorously promoting the energy storage batteries in residential photovoltaic systems. The South Australian Government took the lead in introducing the Home Battery Scheme in 2018. The plan will cost a $ 180 million through Clean Energy Finance Corporation to help residential users purchase or match batteries for residential photovoltaic systems in the form of low-interest loans or repayments.

AlphaESS was the first Chinese Energy storage company that got selected into the scheme to provide the SMILE5 batteries and its state of art VPP system.

SMILE5 breaks the traditional rigid design and infuses the concept of technology home. It is stylish and elegant. The system adapts a modular design to support 1-6 batteries in a "Lego style" stacking for easy disassembly installation and transportation.  The Alpha Cloud platform system independently developed by AlphaESS can support real-time network monitoring, identify online power and intelligently adjust output power. For emergencies, such as power outages, this system's integrated UPS ensures continuous power supply to the family to achieve the 24-hour uninterrupted power supply.

In addition, in November 2018, the Federal Labor Party announced that if the party wins the election, the Federal Labor Party will propose a "Household Battery Program" to support the installation of 100,000 household energy storage batteries. All these government support plans will bring the number of homes using battery energy storage in Australia to 70,000 in 2019. This also means that in 2019, the domestic energy storage battery market in Australia will account for 30% of the global market.
