RESIDENTS of a new masterplanned community will save on $ 2000 a year in electricity bills thanks to groundbreaking technology.
In an Australian first, 'smart' battery systems are set to power 74 townhouses in Mulpha's Northwest Sydney project, Essentia, by capturing daytime solar energy which is efficiently stored and ready for use at the flick of a switch.
Natural Solar founder Chris Williams said the cost-effective units had been tried and tested by contractors and companies, and would be rolled out in 2020 as part of a $ 1.5 million installation deal with the developer.
"Every day, they are looking to reduce their electricity bills, and that's a point of difference," Mr Williams said.

"The modeling suggests savings for this development could be between $ 2000 and $ 2200 per annum, and that's not expected for the next few years," he said.

Each of the combined 5.13kWp solar system and 10kWh battery products will be able to identify a household's off-peak electricity usage.
Mulpha 's Tim Spencer said it had taken 12 months to find the right company and product.
The community will have a pool, gym and clubhouse.
"It's saving home owners but they're also green with all of the town's features, so it's a win for the world and the hip pocket," he said.
The 6ha Essentia project, also delivering 33 lots of land, is being built just off Bella Vista's Fairwater Drive.
Additional features of the community include a central park, a natural waterway, a clubhouse, gym and pool.
