Imagine your home was 100% solar and battery powered with your own generation. And you sold electricity back to the grid and peak times to turn electricity bills from costs to payments to you. And when the grid goes down, you can keep the lights on TV on with your own stored back up power. There is no need to wait, we have the technology now.
Sunny Shire has worked with local solar companies and selected the best options for Sutherland Shire families, including those who have already purchased solar through our solar bulk buy, and those getting solar now.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?
In this context a VPP is a network of distributed solar and battery systems centrally coordinated to provide electricity grid support services and earn revenue. The Sutherland Shire is very lucky that our local electricity distribution network, Ausgrid, has a VPP with Reposit. This means we can add Reposit and earn additional revenue from our battery.

Who is Reposit?
Reposit are a battery and cost management system technology company based in Canberra. They supply controllers that can be added to compatable inverters to control and monitor batteries.
