Understanding home battery storage systems

Online workshop

20 Aug 2026

A home battery lets you store your own electricity and use it when it suits you, helping you get more value from your solar and reduce your energy bills.

In this easy‑to‑follow workshop, you’ll learn:

  • why more households are choosing battery storage
  • how a home battery system works
  • how to choose a battery that suits your home and lifestyle
  • smart ways to use your battery to lower energy costs

Whether you’re just curious or actively considering a battery, this session will give you the knowledge to make confident decisions.

We'll also tell you about the support available through ACT Government programs including the Sustainable Household Scheme.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with links to attend the workshop.
