There are nine million households in Australia.[1] 1.4 million (one in six) have rooftop PV solar installed - "the highest proportion of any country."[2] Tesla is debuting its household battery storage in Australia because of the opportunity it presents. I expect within ten years, more than half of solar powered houses will have some form of storage installed.
