SolarCloud virtual battery
A physical battery stores daytime solar electricity so you can use it later. SolarCloud works differently. You own real solar, professionally hosted for you. The value your solar generates becomes AU$ credits, helping reduce the amount you pay for energy whether you use electricity during the day or night.
Turn sunlight into savings — without the hardware at home.
You purchase a share of solar panels on commercial rooftops across Australia.
Your panels generate electricity, which is sold into the energy market.
The value of the electricity is converted into a financial credit for you.
Receive AU$ credits every quarter to your Australian electricity bill, gas bill or nominated bank account.
Your virtual battery stores financial value, not electricity at home. It does not provide blackout backup. Returns and credits are indicative, not guaranteed.
Why batteries exist
Rooftop solar generates while the sun is shining, often when you are not home.
A physical battery stores some of that electricity.
The battery releases it when the panels are not generating.
But what if you didn't need to store the electricity? What if you stored the value instead?
Different ways to go solar. Same clean energy future.
Generate and store your own solar power at home.
Generate solar power with panels on your roof.
Own remote solar and receive its value as AU$ credits.
