About Darryl2

I looked at a VPN setup but I watch the wholesale prices (PocketNEM) that have crashed in recent years. Often during the day the grid pays the retailers to take power with negative pricing. I get more by getting 10 cents per Kwt.I live on Lake Macquarie so never get a frost but still cold enough for heating that really uses power.My supply charge is similar.Glad I got 2 batteries with the 30% rebate plus got good pricing.

Yes I put in two Tesler power wall 2 batteries so can discharge upTo 10 Kwts.I get 10 cents per Kwt on exports but it takes a lot of export just toPay the service fee.I live at Lake Macquarie, Greater Newcastle City and normally away for winter. I think I would get through a winter on batteries.

Hi JohnWe have a 10.4 Kwt solar 27 Wkt batteries so never use the grid to date.We have been away all August with everything turned off except fridge and pool pump.It appears to be .3 Kwt grid use every day at varying rates.It is not a lot but added to the supply charged you have to export a lot of power to get to a zero account.I will phone AGL but do not expect to get an answer.

Hi JohnI have finally received my first full monthly account with my batteries installed.As I suspected after monitoring the AGL app I have been charged for grid use. I have been away the whole month so no way my batteries could not handle the small demand.I guess I will now phone AGL and waste an hour with probably no resolution.Darryl
