Awesome setup and wish that more people could actually get the right advice as how to do this properly such as yourself.
My main problem with the whole government Solar program is that it is all lies and bullshit
Same as the great LPG Vehicle subsidised conversions many years ago, thereās a deep dark backstory as to why they push these things onto the general publicā¦ā¦ and FYI, itās never been about looking after the average family
The whole Government Solar Plan was a solution to a big problem that they were facing to supply a National power grid whilst at the same time shutting down power stations all over the country.
Great idea to incentivise and manipulate the public into paying for their own houses to be plastered with panels and connected to the main grid to supply power to a failed national power generation plan.
Problem is that the government allowed thousands of dodgy contractors to sign up as government approved installers, using dodgy panels/meters/components to make a quick dollar praying on the government installation contracts.
Hundreds of dodgy businesses popped up, registering as government official installers and providersā¦ā¦ but again, were all mostly fly by night shysters looking to earn a quick dollar.
The problem now is that this has all severely backfired on the government and the power providers, as now thereās TOO MUCH POWER being fed into the grid during working hours, yet still have to tell everyone NOT to use any power when they get home in the evening or overnight
Because thereās now 80% of roof space from every house throughout the country feeding in bulk megawatts of power into the grid, itās causing absolute havoc with the energy system!
These systems were never designed so that the consumer could actually capture their own energy output into battery storage for their own personal useā¦ā¦it was ONLY ever about the government trying to suck people into paying for a solar setup out of their own pockets that would allow them to fulfill power demands without actually having to plan and invest in any actual REAL power development infrastructure themselves.
Itās pretty obvious when thereās two main grid ALINTA Gasbpower stations within 30 kilometres of me that are having to run BACKWARDS every day to try and soak up excess solar energy that is causing havoc across the grid
Itās a big issue, and Iām sure that personal residential battery storage will be the biggest next push by the government to overcome the stupidity of their oversight of their original plans.
I think that this would be awesome for every household to be able to create and store their own powerā¦ā¦ but believe meā¦ā¦ thatās not how governments work.
I will already put my hand on my heart and guarantee that the same government who has incentivised you to go full Solar, will also turn around and try and charge/tax you for ANY power that you are able to store and consume off of the main grid
Donāt get me started on the whole EV government push when we already have had LPG powered vehicles.
You wonāt see any debate about this topic online I can guarantee you!
