10kW Solar Kit Phono 260 SMA Inverter Rooftop. This 10,400 watt 10. W gridtied PV solar power package delivers solid performance at the lowest cost with 40 Phono. Yes, I know someone that has signed up for the 1. Whr system. Still in the very early days and waiting for a site visit from AGL. Please yet us know how he gets on. Wireless Rules writes. Still in the very early days and waiting for a site visit from AGL. I read somewhere cannot find the link that AGL installed the first batch and was inviting more customers to eventually connect 1. Any body knows the current scoreYou buy one of their battery systems for a reduced price and they have the ability through solar magic to draw on that battery when the network demand is high. Interesting concept. SA Power Networks is doing the same thing in Salisbury as part of a trial. We have 1. 00 systems online right now, making it currently the largest VPP in operation in Australia, until AGLs trial overtakes it. You buy one of their battery systems for a reduced price and they have the ability through solar magic to draw on that battery when the network demand is high. Interesting concept. Ive been arguing for this idea for years hope AGL make it a goer The grid gets what it wants support at critical times for a very low capital cost. And consumers get what they want bill savings from a cut price battery. Win win. O. P. Andrew. ATA writes. Win win. Indeed. Once the 1. Id like to see it go to 1. Adelaide, then you start to get a true base load power that can be used to stop AEMO load shedding Andrew. ATA writes.

I have no fear of the stupidity of the grid. Despite this being a great thing and maybe there is some hope for a sensible solution. Small sigh. Edit, if only fossil fuels had to pay their real cost. This idea would then really be required or a massive shift in when sparks are usedzu writes. SA Power Networks is doing the same thing in Salisbury as part of a trial.

But why why why is the general public not better informed by this and similar projects There ought to be big advertising campaigns promoting schemes like that and bring on the competing battery systems. Like it may be more advantageous to have a big battery set up in a street or suburb with all dwellings PV connected I am thinking of Zcell for instance as a mini grid. As a new technology all options need real world testing. Download Filme A Era Do Gelo 4 Dvdrip Mega. O. P. i. Sasquatch writes.

Yeh, it seems the FIT is now set to about 7c a kw, I wonder if it will go up as import prices go up. Adelaide, then you start to get a true base load power that can be used to stop AEMO load shedding It would need to be 2. MW they asked to be shed and that would cost 4. M not counting what customers tipped in. Assuming customers pay 5k, we would hit half a billion to provide 1. MW of peak capacity. In reality, we probably need at last double that to be operating comfortably, so say 1billion and in 1. What would PP ask to be on standby to provide 2. MW of capacity at short notice each summer for the next 1. FIT is now set to about 7c a kw, I wonder if it will go up as import prices go up. Based on the usual methodology for determining the value of PV exports namely avoided costs for retailers, the short answer is it depends. A deeply unsatisfying answer, admittedly. The slightly longer version is to the extent electricity retail prices go up due to network charges going up, dont expect to see a corresponding rise in the FIT to the extent electricity retail prices go up due to average wholesale price going up, expect a modest rise in the FIT. Yeh, it seems the FIT is now set to about 7c a kw. It is not set to anything since 1st January. Retailers can now pay whatever they like, including nothing. Some have reduced it slightly from 6. O.

Thats correct, set to 7c meaning thats the average at the mo the open market is offering. O. P. FB2 writes. It would need to be 2. MW they asked to be shed and that would cost 4.

Im guessing ARENA wont be subsidising this trial for ever, but if it works and battery prices drop then AGL will be begging everyone with 1. Tesla if they want to join their network. The advantage to AGL in the long run is they have no infrastructure costs, the consumer wears all of that. AGL would just be a redistributor of power. I read the website some time back, and dont want to have to trawl through it again just now. IIRC, one of the eligibility criteria was, that the Customer is NOT on a Govt Fi. T. is that correct I dont think they explained whythat should preclude a Customer but I suppose its bc the PV customer would receive LESS than the grandfathered Govt Fi. T, and the Customer would be annoyed to find that out after signing up. Is that a correct interpretation of the eligibility criterion In my own case, as I am currently exporting 9. Id expect to be an otherwise ideal applicant, except Im on a grandfather Fi. T. O. P. Cubic Hare writes. In my own case, as I am currently exporting 9.

T. is that correct Yes You can still be on a Govt FIT, but you would loose it. I guess they just want people to be aware you loose the 4. FIT. If you on the Govt FIT and add batteries, you are considered to be upgrading the system and therefore no longer meet the requirements. O. P. Actually for someone like me that has three phase power I wonder if its worth it They are only providing the battery as a single phase system, itll work but only for one of my phases. Does anyone know if there is a magic box out there that converts single to three phase for my SWB Edit, a simple google found a few converters but no pricing found and they were designed for machinery, which shouldnt be a problem power is power but does the solar industry have a converter product specifically for batteriesO. P. Thanks Fred, a good read. Ill be asking AGL to answer these questions and see how they might maximise the solar and batteries, cheers. Cubic Hare writes. In my own case, as I am currently exporting 9. Id expect to be an otherwise ideal applicant, except Im on a grandfather Fi. T. You have a virtual battery system, it converts electrons to dollars and dollars to electrons with greater efficiency than any chemical storage technology. Be happy. FB2 writes. It would need to be 2.

Yeah but thats for the current trial, including all the set up costs to develop and prove the system. Fast forward a couple of years, and Id expect you could add to your solar system a battery with say 2. Wh of energy and 5 k. W of power for say 1.
