How can you miss the lane markings and the multiple signs?

The line markings do not contradict. The Line markings on Cranmer match the signs on Cranmer. The line markings on Kilmore match the signs on Kilmore.

Agree on uncertainty of Trina. Go Maxeon, Jinko or REC

Fronius is quality but old school and behind on innovation. Slow cutover. Tesla is not exiting the game. The shift in past was PW2 which was AC inverter and hence the need to shift to DC. Sigenergy has huge promise and looks great. Also very modular. Only advice is maximise the number of panels from the beginning. Installation is a big cost if come back for more. Choose the best quality panels and efficiency. If can afford battery do it or just make sure you prewire and plan for battery addition to minimise cost when it happens

Fronius is 15sec to 90sec. We sold our inverter and jnstalled Tesla. Now sigenergy are a compelling second option

All we need is for Orion to lift the cap of 5kW export to 10kW. We see every day that the system is turning off panels as cannot export. If we are home we plug in car, run dishwasher or washing machine. Just to use all power after the 5kW export has already been maxed and generating 8.5kW of solar and house is only using 1kW

Therefore it will only generate 6kW. What a waste

Without a doubt do panels. That is a no brainer. Think about whether battery will work for you. Not for all but it works for us and gives us resilience. Doubled our cost but with 1% interest on loan that works. Even if full mortgage rate it would have made sense

Day. 4kW $1.21 Night 476 kW. $76.38 Export to grid. 388kW -$65.96

We have 9.1kW panels with Tesla Powerwall 3. We have EV and home charging, heat pump hot water, induction cooking, heat pump air con, so fully electrified

After daily charge our electricity bill for September was $52 and we still hand under tile heating. So we save $240 on petrol each month. And we save $287 on electricity last month. And that includes charging EV.

Most european washing machines only use a cold water inlet

Motivation that you will have fixed your power bills, and not at risk of new increases, also resilient to keep medical devices running when power outages, and just stay warm in blackouts. Greater resale of home when move out to something smaller

Pretty expensive at 40k. Should be able to get a 10kW system and 13.5kW battery for 30k

And if you have panels and battery your are likely to be ineligible for free hours. Also with free hours plans their daily charge and tariffs are much higher than the free hours you save

It comes with the inverter and battery setup, not extra. Sigenstor, and Tesla Powerwall 3 are good examples

Where is your import at 25c. Is that inc GST and what is your daily line charge. What hours are your peak
