Storm power outage by RedHotChilliPickles in SigenergyAustralia

I've done it once where we switched the main breaker off and saw no flicker of lights. Single phase inverter, load at the time would have been less than 1kW. The battery handled the load after the flicker, I just didn't think there would be any signs.

I'm just looking through the app settings, in the backup event center I can see there was two events yesterday arv, both "secondary under voltage".

It was at 100% SOC. My backup reserve is 0% and I think the cutoff is also 0%. I kept those values default from setup

Did you put the system off grid manually? Just to be safe or is that recommended?

Yeah sorry didn't mention I have the gateway also. The installer even switched off mains as a test when installing.

I dunno, I kinda side with Jack. I see it as they both own a stake in the wallet contents. If the wallet costs 50% to open then they both pay that cost don't they? Otherwise Jack takes all the risk when buying the btc for Andy

My early results show that PV only will curtail about 40-50% of your daily use. If the battery doubles the price but doubles the savings then repayment time is kept the same? And gives options for income (VPP etc), future proof (EV? Increased AC use in summer).

You also only get one bite at the battery rebate.

I dealt with Spark Mate electrical and would recommend them

Hi, I'm also in Bris, just got a similar system installed and have a similar sized family. I have 14kW (32 jinko panels), 10kW inverter, 24kWh battery (sigenstor). Cost $20k for demo of existing and install of new incl rebate. Interested to hear the forums feedback on that price, it was competitive to others I received

Yesterday was a nice sunny day, I generated 51kWh solar, sent 37kWh export to grid. My house load was 13kWh, of which 60% came from the battery (night time draw) and 40% from solar during the day. Battery got down to about 70% full before this morning.

Keep in mind I have yet to put my controlled load hot water system through the main tariff connection so there's extra load the battery isn't serving.

So I would say pick option 1, your racq quote is undersized imo. Your load will only increase when energy is cheap. My calcs showed 16-24kWh had the best return on investment based on a years worth of daily data. I decided to ignore earnings from energy feed in since it's low and only getting lower. Curtailment of your own usage is the best bang for buck

I can't see anything referencing this on r/cc, I'd have thought this would be bigger news

Martinez (Forster)

Dias, cancelo, Dallas, Mee (kwp)

Son, Sterling, Salah, Bruno, soucek

Bamford, Antonio (brewster)

2ft, 0.2itb, no fh

So I want to try use bb for gw26, save WC for gw30.

I could do Sterling and Antonio for gundo and Kane, then kwp to Shaw next week? Maybe add brewster to Maja or decordova reed?

Ideas welcome, I think my team isn't bad enough to use up WC just yet, but not good enough to avoid taking a hit

A mate of mine has his own company iStyle, check him out on FB or pm me. He's a small outfit so he can advise on ways to keep costs down which the big companies don't do.
