EV Chargers
& VPP

Installing EV charge points around the community paired with solar panel installations at car parks, shopping centres, and council buildings makes it easy for the community to charge their EVs with locally made power.

Linking these systems up batteries in the Virtual Power Plant can further enhance the resilience of the local grid.

Community Batteries

Councils also have the opportunity to support those residents who are unable to install solar through the installation of large community batteries in local parks.

Each community battery project is designed with ease-of-approval in mind, targeting return-on-investment (ROI) in less than 10 years with no increases to rates.

CASE STUDY

Mitcham City Council: 6 sold out community events and over 763 homes join the program.

When the community leaders at Mitcham Council in South Australia decided to help local ratepayers avoid rolling blackouts and rising power prices, partnered with ShineHub to deliver solar panel & battery packages with $0 upfront costs & immediate savings.

763 local residents took advantage of the offer, with 753 electing to install a battery and join ShineHub’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This volume of storage will supply enough on-demand power to offset the output of 3 diesel power plants – a massive win for sustainability in the local council.

Why ShineHub?

ShineHub has revolutionised the way entire communities generate, store and manage power.

We have also been selected by the Victoria and South Australian state governments as a Pre-Approved Supplier of Community Batteries on the Industry Capability Network – further streamlining government procurement processes.
