Thanks for the explanations, but I think it's much more complicated than that. Since we use more power at some times of the day than others, and if those times of high usage do not coincide with the times of high output from your PV system, the benefit could be much smaller than this simple calculation. It is possible to get hourly usage numbers from your provider for a number of months or years. Comparing these to expected output, also at hourly intervals and depending on the season, you should be able to model a much more accurate projection of savings. Of course, you also have to estimate increases in future energy prices to make it more believable. The other consideration is that your energy provider will charge a connection fee, which seems to have been increasing lately. This needs to be paid regardless of how much energy you import from the grid. It's easy to imagine that when most people satisfy more of their requirements from solar, the energy companies will simply increase this charge to ridiculous levels or make it dependent on your total power usage just to maintain profits. I'm tempted to oversize my (hypothetical) system to overproduce at the low-output times of day, but I think I then run the risk of not being able to export all of the excess. Of course, if I also had a battery, this could be smoothed over, but batteries are still way too expensive.

Nice video ! People who go straight to the ROI argument are like Wilde’s cynic, who sees the cost of everything and the value of nothing. I’ve recently invested in a 10kW PV system with a 13kWh battery. This gives me complete self-sufficiency, including all household loads and charging my EV each day. Do I care if the break even is 10+ years? Well no, I’m about to retire and there’s enormous value in knowing I won’t pay for petrol or electricity for the rest of my days.

@SolarayEnergy9 ай бұрын
ROI is important - but it is not the only factor! I've seen customers with evening power prices as high as 66c/kWh whereas I'm paying 31c. So for many, prices have doubled already. The higher power prices go, the better the ROI for batteries become.
@Toliman.9 ай бұрын
A $15k battery will be warrantied for 10 years (or more), the return would have to be ~$1500 a year, or $120 a month, $4 a day. Your bills would have to be reduced by either the FIT changing, or the Tariff changing. $4/day isn't always obvious, especially because Tariff pricing going up, doesn't seem to be factored into the ROI. Neither does FIT dropping to 4c or lower. A lot of these calculators are based squarely on $/Kw of storage, not looking at the use cases or the ways that billing could change, and is changing in the future. Keep in mind, 10 years, the battery keeps working, but the available storage gradually depreciates from 13kw to 8-9kw. By then, you have 2033 Solar/Battery technology and 2033 inflation/pricing of electricity. The predictable ROI isn't really going to deliver $100 each month, unless there's a cause to use that much power, e.g. Air Conditioning or EV charging, or a Pool Cleaning pump or other daily use. To break even, the battery would likely require that 13kw of storage to pay for peak usage (38c to 98c), or to cover the gap between tariff and FIT. i.e. 13kw of 4c to 15c FIT "lost" vs 13kw of 38-98c Peak traded. At a 65c peak, that's $8.45 per day, from 5pm to 9pm or 2pm to 8pm. That's a kettle, a microwave, oven, AC, TV, room fans, computers, Saving 10-12kw over 4 hours, there's your $4-$5/day. That's also if there's no other incentives/discounts or VPP type events, negative price events, solar soak events, etc. A lot of the money is just made from Grid Stabilisation, i.e. soaking up excess solar from the grid, and exporting it during peak periods, i.e. SmartShift and that's handled by the VPP or APIs in the batteries now. I have no idea if this is sustainable for a whole decade, but I have a feeling that it will be ... because tariff changes happened when they removed 2 powerstations from NSW. YMMV If the battery saves you 10kw of peak power during high demand or high peak, it's probably going to make the money back fairly quickly that you would have spent. Especially when it comes to Demand pricing and occasional spike use, i.e. cooking dinner, using the microwave, the fridge comes on, while the hot water and AC are on, etc. Now you have a demand surge for the month that might push $10/day in costs, and you never noticed. Most of these ROI calculators made assumptions about grid pricing being in the 30c/10c FIT or 20c/12c FIT. That arbitrage of Peak vs FIT, Load shifting. If you're in Sydney/Ausgrid, that would have changed recently from ~25c to ~38c/kWh in less than a year. And FIT would have gone from 12c-15c/kWh to 4c-6c/kWh. YMMV. There's also trials of EA025 (Residential ToU) and EA111/115/116 (Residential Demand TOU/Residential Demand rates - where your peak usage affects the entire month's bills), which is running alongside the Ausgrid's Solar Soak / Twin Rate EA959 and EA960 rates, which basically only give you FIT between 2pm and 8pm when peak rates are highest. These Solar Soak plans tend to work well if you can avoid high usage, but occasionally these Solar Soak plans have Negative Price events, so exports cost money at these times. What does this mean for payback periods ? If your metering changes, and it seems like Ausgrid will start to move people onto EA111, which is a Demand tariff without the ToU Peak and off-peak rates. Tariffs won't remain flat for everyone.

So understanding the technology, and understand what you use it for, puts you at an advantage. For example, I know that I would like to stay cool in the summer... mostly in my bedroom where I can sleep. My bedroom is a 10x10' room with a 9' ceiling. a 5000BTU window A/C would work, or even a 6000BTU would be great. That uses about 500W/hr. So, I would need Solar Panels to cover that range. Or at least a battery to store that power (because I care mostly about the night when I sleep) and Let's say I get about 8 hours of sleep... even 10 hours let's say. So that's 5Kwh for 10 hours. I would need a 6Kwh battery to have the A/C constantly running for all 10 hours. But the AC is probably climate controlled so your room doesn't become an icicle. So Of that 10 hours, it's probably only running about 65-70% of the time, drawing from your battery. So, that means: I would need 3x250w solar panels, + 1x5kw battery, + 1 2kw battery. Santan sells used 250w panels for 50 a piece, 5Kw battery is about 3500 on amazon, and a 2kw inverter is about 200 bucks. I can have a nice cool summer for many summers to come without using any extra electricity from the grid for under 5K. (3500 batter+150 (maybe about 50 of shipping)+200 for inverter+500 for cabling.)

I recommend also explaining the restriction in grid exports. Different per state and utility provider, I believe the max Australia-wide is 5kW/h. A magic day with 8h continuous perfect sun conditions, and not a dot of shade, you can export 8h * 5kW = 40kWh total, or around ~$2 (@5c/kwh). This is apparently due to our 'downhill grid' not being able to spread the load of everyone powering up the continent. Given 'supply charge' is generally ~$1.30 per day(!!), you are lucky to cover 50% of daily costs due to export limits in perfect conditions. Add in shading, and seasonal variation (3h max sun in winter), I would suggest the savings calc should use something much less than $5,840.

In Sydney a system produces about 4 times its size so a 5kW system will output 20kWh a day, on average, doing more in summer and less in winter.
I have an Enphase IQ7 system, the power usage within the 15min intervals in the Enlighten App, if it was say, 1500w, would the actual usage be 100w per minute??
Hey! 15min. interval is due to type of connectivity to gateway, meaning mostly your system is on wi-fi or ethernet. If it's on cellular, it goes around every 6hrs

Can we talk about the metals used to make solar panels are taken out of the earth by African slaves and it's poisoning the people and environment over there? If you are all so worried about the environment, what about Africa?
Enphase is just the best for home solar. Great quality and customer service 😊
PLs reduce the background music to the minimum.
IN ca I have a 10.4kw system and we make about 17,000 kwh per year. Since I have NEM 1.0 O get full credit for every KWH I send to the grid. So Solar was an absolute no brainer investment.
Interesting.
The best ad I have ever watched, thanks <3

NGL, wasn't expecting it but pretty good lol
Relatable
Does the powerwall make financial sense now in 2022?
Still no...
Can you still get the government rebates if you purchase and install a system yourself? I like to do everything myself. The solar government website just mentions eligible installers, nothing about DIY.
