Episode Description
Why You Have Nothing to Wear (Even With a Full Wardrobe)
Think a home battery is just for tradies, tech bros, or people with massive houses? Think again. In this episode of Get Rich, Molly sits down with Leigh from RESINC, Australia's highest rated and most awarded solar company, to break down everything you need to know about home batteries, no engineering degree required.
Whether you've been curious about going solar, want to slash your power bill, or just want to stop dreading your next electricity statement, this one is for you.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- What a home battery actually does and whether you need solar panels to get one
- How much a home battery costs in Australia and what a realistic return on investment looks like
- The government rebate that could save you up to $6,500 on your install
- The three free hours of electricity now available to Australians in NSW, Victoria and Southeast Queensland and how to make the most of them
- What a virtual power plant is and how your battery could actually earn you money
- How green loans work and why you might be able to get solar and a battery for zero upfront cost
- Whether a home battery adds value to your property when you sell
- What blackout protection actually means in practice (spoiler: your lights stay on even when the grid goes down)
- The biggest mistake Australians make when buying a battery and how to avoid it
Perfect for: Australian women who own or are looking to buy a home, anyone curious about solar energy, and anyone who is done handing over hundreds of dollars to their energy retailer every quarter.
The biggest takeaway from this episode? The rebates won't be around forever, the cost of living isn't going down, and a home battery might just be one of the smartest financial moves you can make right now. 🎧
