~30% of Australian households rent. That single figure quietly constrains the entire energy transition.
Rooftop solar, home batteries, V2H, smart charging — almost all of it assumes you own your roof and driveway.
A renter may have the intent but not the structural position to act. The decision sits with a landlord who carries the cost, not the benefit.
My new paper (WREC 2026, now on SSRN) frames Australia's transition as a reconfiguration of existing systems — layering onto a housing structure that already sorts people into participants and bystanders.

I am pleased to share that I will be virtually speaking at the 11th International Conference and Exhibition on Sustainable Energy and Advanced Materials (ICE-SEAM 2025), taking place on September 25, 2025, in Melaka, Malaysia.

My presentation, “Residential Energy Futures: Adoption Pathways in the Decentralised Era,” will highlight the growing importance of solar energy storage in Australia. With rooftop solar adoption at record levels, storage has become essential to achieving cost savings, energy independence, and greater grid reliability. I will also touch on the barriers, such as upfront costs and regulatory challenges, while exploring how supportive policies, innovation, and public awareness can accelerate the transition.

This conference provides a valuable platform for academics, researchers, and industry leaders to exchange ideas and foster collaborations, and I look forward to contributing to the discussions on shaping a sustainable energy future.
