NSW | Repower homes

Ken’s “electrification journey” began about 17 years ago when they put an induction cooktop into their home kitchen in Sydney.

“Someone said it’s new, it’s a really good way to cook, very quick, it doesn’t use a lot of power. So we thought, “okay we will give it a go.”

After that they started placing solar panels on their house.

They did experience one problem: shading in winter.

So they popped in some more panels on top of their garage – this time with individual converters – which optimise the power output of each panel. Now they have enough power to run their house during the day.

“I would certainly have enough power to run the house at night if I had a battery.”

“It’s good for my power bills and it’s great for the planet. It’s a win-win situation.”
