Client summary
The first apartment development in Australia for sale to the public employing the combination of solar PV panels, battery storage and blockchain technology.
The trial involves 24 apartments, and is backed by Curtin University, in partnership with LandCorp, Solar Balance, Australian Renewable Energy Agency, Low Carbon Living Cooperative Research Centre and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation.
How the technology works
With the reduced reliance on grid supply, residents will be less affected by increases in energy prices, while selling excess solar electricity to their neighbors at peak demand times, rather than selling it back to the grid.
