The new lead battery technology – a solar storage game changer Solar power uptake has hit enormous highs in recent years through a combination of factors. Firstly, the technology has become more efficient and more affordable, so consumers are getting more bang for their buck. Secondly, awareness of environmental issues, climate action and the need to reduce our carbon footprint has inspired many people to adopt clean, green energy. Finally, soaring electricity prices have tipped many residential homeowners and businesses to make the transition in a bid to save money. Another major development in recent years has been solar battery solutions, like the Tesla Powerwall. This enables homes and businesses to store excess power in a low-profile battery which they can use at night time, during long periods of inclement weather or during major outages. While this technology is not new, for the first time it has become affordable, accessible and the batteries themselves don’t take up large volumes of space at your property.
