Adding battery storage to an existing Feed-in Tariff (FIT) site

We often get asked if you can add battery storage to an existing solar system that is currently registered for the Feed-in Tariff or FIT scheme. The quick answer is YES. However like most things in life there are some caveats. In the case of a FIT installation the battery storage needs to be installed in a particular way to avoid breaking the

Solar Feed-In Tariffs and Home Battery Storage. As solar feed-in tariffs (FiTs) from energy retailers will undoubtedly decrease further, Australian homeowners are looking for new ways to recoup their investment in solar panels. Could

Assessing the Feasibility of Behind-the-Meter Battery Storage

This study examines the feasibility of behind-the-meter battery energy storage systems (BESS) for tariff arbitrage. We utilize the time-of-use tariff from Umeme, a distribution utility in Uganda, to develop an optimization and economic model that compares electricity costs with and without a BESS for commercial use.
