“The Changing Role of Home Energy Storage” – a new community workshop by Power Trip Energy’s Andy Cochrane

Solar energy remains the cornerstone of clean energy projects—proven, reliable, and both environmentally and economically beneficial. While solar technology itself has seen steady, incremental improvement, the real transformation is happening on the energy storage side of the equation.

Rapid advances in battery technology, paired with significant cost reductions, are reshaping how energy is captured, stored, and used. As a result, energy storage has become more accessible, more flexible, and more essential for grid stability. It is also crucial for resilience and maximizing the value of renewable energy systems.

This presentation explores the growing profusion of energy storage solutions, why costs are coming down, and what these changes mean for homeowners, builders, and communities. As storage systems become more complex and influential, education is critical. This session will help attendees better understand the technologies, opportunities, and practical implications shaping the future of clean energy.
