Questions and discussion about solar, batteries, and electrification
Join our Home Energy Management trial and save up to $300 off your energy bills and also get a $300 gift card for participating.
Please follow AGL Innovation Home Energy Trial to express your interest in joining the trial. Our teams will review your expression of interest early in the new year and will then advise whether you’ve been accepted into the trial.
If you have any questions in the interim, please look at the FAQs in the link above.

In order to receive the $300 gift card at the end of the trial, you must complete all surveys and take part in two research interviews.
Savings based on a household with a TOU tariff, with peak rate of 34cents and an off- peak rate of 24 cents, that shifts 10kwh of energy a day for the duration of the trial, and participates in 5 demand response events per month for the duration of the trial

. . . and a battery, and a BEV.
It's a huge investment getting solar, then the battery is as much again in cost as a good sized solar system to manage efficiency to eliminate bills.
A BEV is another thing altogether, either very expensive for decent range, or limited in practicality to use around the suburbs for anything more modest in price ($40k ?) or really short surburban use with an older 2nd hand BEV (leaf / miev).
Hello AGL Neighbourhood, first time post, so LOTS of questions and I feel a lot to learn.
Any chance you could explain wtf some of this post actually means ?
For example...
"that shifts 10kwh of energy a day"
Does that mean exports 10KwH or combined usage and export?
"participates in 5 demand response events per month"
that line only conjures up images of being interrogated under bright lights....
