flag Australian homes are ditching gas for solar and batteries due to high bills, unreliable grids, and government mandates, with systems paying for themselves in 4–5 years.

flag Australian homeowners are rapidly switching from gas to solar and battery storage due to soaring electricity prices and unreliable grids worsened by extreme weather. flag Falling feed-in tariffs—down to 1 cent per kWh in Victoria—mean households lose money exporting solar power while paying up to 30 cents per kWh to buy it back at night, making battery storage essential for savings and backup power. flag With government mandates phasing out gas in new homes by 2024 and gas hot water by 2027, and modern electric appliances improving efficiency, solar-plus-battery systems are now cost-effective, starting at $5,000 with no upfront costs through rebates. flag Most systems pay for themselves in 4–5 years, cutting energy bills by 60–70% and turning homes into self-sufficient energy suppliers.
