Announced today (Sunday, 9th September 2018) sonnen, the world’s largest home battery storage manufacturing company will be opening its doors to a battery manufacturing plant at the ex-Holden factory in South Australia which will produce 50,000 home batteries.

This will be the first plant in Australia to build and manufacture residential and commercial battery storage solutions which is a huge milestone for the Australian battery industry and will create more than 430 jobs.

This exciting news for consumers in Australia comes following the announcement from the South Australian Government that they will offer $100M in state government subsidies for up to 40,000 households to install battery storage in their homes.

Individual grants of up to $6,000 will be available to help with the purchase of batteries. Australian made products (sonnenBatteries) and their installers are expected to be prioritised in the subsidy.

Natural Solar is the largest solar and battery installer in Australia, and an established partner of sonnen.

As the largest installer of sonnenBatteries nationally, at Natural Solar, we are able to offer our residential, commercial and developer customers the best pricing available in the market due to our purchasing power.

Our competitive home battery storage and solar pricing, coupled with the newly announced subsidies will offer an unbelievable return on investment for Australian homeowners, with eligible homeowners to be able to experience high savings and, in some cases $0 electricity bills.

DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO BUILD A BRIGHTER BATTERY POWERED FUTURE AND EXPERIENCE SAVINGS.
