Safe battery handling standards and regulations

Master the technologies reshaping how Australians store, share, and benefit from clean energy at home.

About the training

The New Home Battery Technologies course covers new developments in energy storage solutions for residents. As we dive into the different types of home batteries available to the public, we also discuss how they can benefit from dynamic energy pricing and explore how emerging technologies like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) are redefining the relationship between residents and the grid.
