Cool, so you’re not off grid. That last 10% is the hardest part, the most expensive part. The part that stops people from ever being able to be off grid.
Stop talking shit mate LOL! it’s because I bought my battery in 2022 for 16k, today I can buy a 40kw battery for 6k:
PLUS • Standard Price: $5,999 • OzBargain: $5,899 (Single-phase 10kW, 4 MPPTs + 41.93kWh Battery)
www.ozbargain.com.au/node/925016
I also saw recently 50kw storage:
[NSW, VIC, QLD] 53.2KWH Solis Storage (Alpha Battery)& 8KW Single Phase Solis Inverter $6399 Installed @ Hybrid Solar
www.ozbargain.com.au/node/935342
You know how prices have rapidly come down for solar and batteries? and generation and storage capacities have gone up? I’m making the crazy prediction that this trend will continue… crazy I know!
This is in 2025, do you seriously believe in 2030 or 2040 we’ll be back to 10kw storage again? that there will be no gains in solar panels for the next 30 years?
The price of solar panels and batteries will only go up
🤦♂️ The fuck is this? Are you trolling me?
Anyway I’m done with this conversation, you don’t know shit and instead of learning and growing as a human you seem content to fill in anything you don’t know with shit and having shit fantasies about the future, this might be the dumbest conversation I’ve ever had on energy ever. good day sir.

your intentions are not likely to be peaceful and honourable.
Well we’ll never know because she accepted what the police had to say and moved on, but I do have to admit it is quite odd that Muslims can’t simply reply to a white woman asking questions? Are Muslims unable to handle criticism?
Oh right…
Anyway…
That sounds like the correct call from the police.
Agreed, the guy was being an offensive dickhead, glad we’re both on the same page.

On the other hand we do know that if you attempt to even walk near Muslims they will threaten to arrest you:
Activist reporter Lauren Southern who is currently touring Australia with popular alt-media philosopher Stefan Molyneux, was warned by police not to visit a mosque in Lakemba, a predominantly Muslim area in Sydney’s western suburbs. Her plan was to observe the “culture” in Lakemba and to interview people outside of the mosque.
But before she could get there, she was apprehended by a senior police officer, who warned her that if she continued, her actions may incite a serious breach of the peace. His first line of questioning included asking her where she planned to walk next. In a video of the exchange, the flatfoot is seen to tell her that he has “grave concerns” that she will cause an “imminent breach of the peace” if she continues on towards the mosque and asks her not to go there.

So yeah, if there was a large group of MAGA’s and far right Americans in Bondi (instead of Jews) and you wore that shirt you too would probably get moved on

- Comment on Australian households to get free electricity three hours a day 2 weeks ago:
having enough solar and batteries to go completely off grid would require most households to take out a second mortgage to pay for it.
there are loads of people living off grid up in tara
i have a 6.6kw solar system and 10kw battery (and a smart meter 😧!) and im already 90% off the grid, in 20 years time we may have 40kw solar panels for the same cost as 6.6kw today and 100kw batteries
Because disconnecting from the grid won’t be an option, legally.
sorry are you talking about reality or is this an elaborate blade runner style dystopian fantasy novel you’re writing?

Solar feed in charges:
yes as i said and from your own link
Solar export tariffs are designed to stop solar being exported to the grid when there is a lot of sunshine about. That means that solar panel owners should put in place things that soak up their solar generation.
there is currently too much cheap renewable power going to the grid during the day
the AEMO plan states that 60% of all grid storage is home battery storage, and that the power companies draw from this at will - and they’re not going to pay for it
no it doesn’t
The claim that “60% of all grid storage is home battery storage, and that power companies draw from this at will—and they’re not going to pay for it” is a significant oversimplification and, in some respects, a misrepresentation of AEMO’s plans and the current state of Australia’s energy market.
What AEMO actually says:
- AEMO’s Integrated System Plan (ISP) does highlight the growing importance of distributed energy resources, including home batteries, as part of Australia’s future energy mix. The plan envisions a future where consumer energy resources (CER), such as rooftop solar and home batteries, play a major role in supporting the grid, especially as coal plants retire and renewable energy capacity expands. By 2050, AEMO expects a massive increase in both rooftop solar and battery storage, with home batteries potentially helping to avoid billions in grid investment costs—if they are “well coordinated” .
- The key here is “well coordinated.” AEMO and the energy market are exploring ways to integrate home batteries into the grid through mechanisms like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), where households can choose to participate and may receive incentives or payments for allowing their batteries to be used to support the grid during peak times. Participation is voluntary, and households are not forced to give up control of their batteries without compensation .
- There is no current policy or plan that allows power companies to unilaterally “draw from” home batteries without the owner’s consent or compensation. Any use of home batteries for grid support would typically be part of a formal agreement, such as a VPP program, where participants are compensated for their contribution

I don’t get it
the power company can steal your power and charge you for the privilege
If you export power to the grid, you are paid for it
The whole reason to join a VPP, is so you get paid for exporting power during CRITICAL peak events
I know, because I have now been on 2 VPP’s
One with Sonnen, where they paid me $15 a month for being on standby to charge during peak events and Globird ZeroHero:
ZEROLIMITS (Optional add-on): Take your earnings to the next level Get $1/kWh on exports during wholesale critical events, plus other critical event credits
www.globirdenergy.com.au/energy-saver/zerohero/
Nobody is signing up to a VPP to donate their power and get nothing for it
Also the government recently made it legal for power companies to charge you for your exports, which you need to be on a VPP for them to do
Where did you read this?
The charge for exports is for SOLAR during the MIDDLE of the DAY because there is TOO MUCH solar
Solar energy exports are reaching levels in some parts of the grid during the 10am – 3pm period that they are becoming difficult to manage and could potentially pose a threat to network stability. Export charges applied during this window will act as a signal to system owners to self-consume more of the energy they generate during this time.
- Comment on Australian households to get free electricity three hours a day 4 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure is VPP enabled meaning the power company can steal your power and charge you for the privilege.
With a VPP you are paid for exporting power from your battery to the grid when there are price peaks.
You get money for doing this and if enough people do it the price spikes flatten down saving everyone on the grid money.

Power companies aren’t in the business of losing money.
Correct, currently they charge you 38c a kw while they pay -10c for the power ;)

Clearly, high energy costs lie at the heart of the challenges facing Australia’s power-intensive heavy industries, which also face intense international competition.
The industry minister, Tim Ayres, on Tuesday pointed to “a very tough and volatile global trading environment in aluminium”, including “over-subsidisation in some markets, tariff responses in others”.
