澳大利亚家庭因高费用,不可靠的电网和政府的要求而放弃了太阳能和电池的使用, Australian homes are ditching gas for solar and batteries due to high bills, unreliable grids, and government mandates, with systems paying for themselves in 4–5 years.

由于电价飙升和极端天气恶化了不可靠的电网,澳大利亚的房主正在迅速从天然气转向太阳能和电池储存。 Australian homeowners are rapidly switching from gas to solar and battery storage due to soaring electricity prices and unreliable grids worsened by extreme weather. 在维多利亚州,上网电费跌至1%kWh时,平均家庭损失了出口太阳能的金钱,同时每千瓦时支付高达30美分的电费,以在晚上买回太阳能,因此电池储存对于储蓄和备用电力至关重要。 Falling feed-in tariffs—down to 1 cent per kWh in Victoria—mean households lose money exporting solar power while paying up to 30 cents per kWh to buy it back at night, making battery storage essential for savings and backup power. 随着政府授权到2024年在新住宅中逐步淘汰天然气,到2027年在燃气热水中逐步淘汰天然气,以及现代电器提高效率,太阳能加电池系统现在具有成本效益,从5 000美元开始,不通过退款支付前期费用。 With government mandates phasing out gas in new homes by 2024 and gas hot water by 2027, and modern electric appliances improving efficiency, solar-plus-battery systems are now cost-effective, starting at $5,000 with no upfront costs through rebates. 大部分系统在4-5年的时间里自掏腰包,能源支出削减了60-70%,将家庭变成自给自足的能源供应商。 Most systems pay for themselves in 4–5 years, cutting energy bills by 60–70% and turning homes into self-sufficient energy suppliers.
