Infographic comparing excess solar energy to growing extra food, selling it cheaply and later buying it back at a higher price. It shows how a battery can instead store surplus solar energy for use later, helping a business keep more of the value it generates.

Why store excess solar? Think of solar like rain falling on your roof.

If your solar system produces more electricity than your business needs during the day, where does that excess energy go? Battery storage can help keep more of that value onsite for use later.

Infographic comparing excess solar energy to selling home-grown vegetables cheaply to a supermarket, then buying them back later at a much higher price. It explains why businesses may benefit from using or storing more of their own solar energy rather than focusing only on feed-in tariffs.

Would you sell your home-grown vegetables to Coles for $1, then go back that evening and buy them back for $28?

If you export excess solar cheaply during the day, then buy electricity back later at a much higher rate, the feed-in tariff may not be the number that matters most.
