      For households in Yack making the switch today, a combined solar and battery system costs around $15,000 after the federal government’s battery rebate, Charles-Jones says.

        Cool, same as everywhere else in Australia. How many of them actually have batteries? Doesn’t say, so we can only assume it’s an extremely low percentage since they specifically mention the exact percentage that have solar.

        They’ve supposedly “cracked Australia’s energy problem”, which is where we get our power from when “renewables” don’t work.

        How did they solve it? They don’t say anything about solving that problem. We already know that solar gives people power during the day. Night time has always been the roadblock.
