Solar, Batteries & Electrification

..Looking into power suppliers in each state, and curtailment (backstop) of solar generation, I found some very interesting info here on our (South Australian) supplier SAPN website . . . https://www.sapowernetworks.com.au/your-power/quality-reliability/solar-curtailment-for-minimum-system-demand-events/  In particular, it was interesting to note from that page, if ever AEMO orders SAPN to stabili ...

AGL recommended E-Homes as their partner for installing the solar system. I can't find any reviews for this company. Has anyone used this company before?  

AGL - Stop pretending that gas is part of the solution. It is not!  Your role is to bow out of the energy market as gracefully and quickly as possible, and wrecking as little of the environment as possible on your way out. Your massive advertising campaign will, over time, fool less and less people. The planet is more important that your profits. Get with the decarbonizing program. Do it today!

I have just received my new contract rates for electricity effective from 1 July 2023. Building on top of recent increases, they reflect a further staggering increase of 31.7%. Given your PR advertisements in the media that invite praise for your rush to renewable energy, I feel that I am missing something.Can you please explain when the cheap renewable energy sources are going to deliver the econ ...

How's these money hungry dogs dropping the feed in tariff from 15c/KW to 5c/KW. You dogs aren't earning enough?

We signed up for a VPP panel and battery system with AGL in March. Now in December we are still waiting for the installer to contact us with an installation date. The site inspection was organised relatively quickly and took place in April, and all required prep work has been completed (by us). Solar Vic have done their bit and have been most helpful. Our AGL VPP sales contact has also been good t ...

I find it incredible that a company as big as AGL can drop their Feed in tariff from 12c down to 5c. The minute I saw this I switched to a minnow supplier with a 13c FIT and lower electricity rate, and lower daily rate. AGL when you get your act together and don't drop your FIT by over 50% get back to me. I didn't invest in solar for this rubbish to be dumped on me by my supplier..

Maximize grid use with one-way energy flow. Someone could look out the window to see whensun comes up then change flow homes to local sub-station.Design small street storage box for homes without solar panels to get energy during day only.They can pay for seperate short power line from box to home. 

I noticed this phenomenon last summer and have started recording the solar power being produced by my panels from the invertor and what AGL is charging me at any given time via the Powerpal app. At 11.03am this morning my panels were generating 7.1kW, the powerpal app said I was drawing 2.8kW from the grid. I had a 5.5kW bore pump running and sundry household items such as fridge and computer. I h ...

How can the grid start charging our battery when it is already charged and the sun is shining and should be charging our battery further.  Then the grid draws power from our battery when it is charged and should still be charging for our use! We are not part of the Power Plant scheme so how does this occur? Invest thousands in renewables and AGL reaps all the benefits.
