    Who the fruitcake in government decided that those were the post codes? Bloody random as hell.

        i live in Dan Andrew's seat, which is the safest seat in the house, therefore I never get any perks.

      Thanks government worker for negging me!

    • ozbking on 02/03/2020 - 23:24

      I've lived in 8 different suburbs or towns over the years and I don't recognise a single post code…

  • coxymla on 02/03/2020 - 21:32

    Not worth it financially.

    • SBOB on 02/03/2020 - 21:42
      +12

      yep

      best case scenario result:

      at what, 50c kwh peak (worst case scenario) and 100% charge (meaning no FIT, 10 to 20c kwh, im currently on 21) and 100% usage

      4.8kwh of usable capacity per day is worth
      4.8 * $0.50 (supply not taken from grid at night) - 4.8 * $0.20 (feed in you don't get as you charged the battery)
      = $2.40 - $0.96
      ~$1.44/day
      ~$525/year (absolute best case scenario of 100% charge, 100% discharge, zero degradation in capacity over time, perfectly sunny day every day of the year)

      won't even pay itself off within the warranty period

      especially considering this was like 1600 bucks last month :/

      Battery add-ons for solar shouldn't be allowed to be advertised without the basic maths/ROI included.

      • cloudy on 02/03/2020 - 22:26

        Agreed, but your maths does assume max charge and discharge of once a day. It’s very possible to discharge more than once a day.

        Using a intermittent high watt device can use more than your panels can produce and hence draw power, and when it’s intermittently off your panels and charge battery.

        • SBOB on 02/03/2020 - 22:37

          But most I've seen have their warranties based on a daily cycle basis, not multiple partial charge and discharge cycles per day.

          • ozbking on 02/03/2020 - 23:28

            @SBOB: Worse than that I've seen solar batteries advertise their lifetime $ per kWh based on a 3 cycle charge daily! Have to be careful with the marketing spin…

        • ajd4096 on 04/03/2020 - 22:20

          Aren't these single-phase? You would need to be using multiple 2400W devices.

          Yes it is possible, but how likely is a home user to be doing this all day, every day?

          • cloudy on 05/03/2020 - 12:21

            @ajd4096: Yes it is possible, but how likely is a home user to be doing this all day, every day?

            not likely all day every day. But happens frequently.

            think after school, preparing for dinner when kids are using devices. It will be well past peak sunshine, you're getting probably <3000w/h. Turn on oven and with all your usual devices and you will be drawing from battery.

            But im not saying its another full discharge.

      • lostn on 03/03/2020 - 14:01

        VIC FITs are 12c.

    • Employeeekoenergy @ Eko Energy on 03/03/2020 - 09:52

      I would say that 80% of people decide not to go with batteries for the payback period. However, the remaining 20% choose to invest in batteries for a number of non-financial reasons, namely;
      - Want backup power in case of blackouts
      - Want the added security of not relying on the grid
      - Environmental impact
      - Want protection from rising energy prices
      - They are high users of energy at night (typically over $500/qtr) their payback period is significantly quicker, when we size an appropriate battery for their needs, bearing in mind this 4.8kWh system can take up to 11.8kWh of batteries within the one cabinet.

  • Mikey85 on 02/03/2020 - 22:52

    AGL provide a Tesla powerwall cheaper than this I believe (may be state dependant) but they did drop prices lately.

  • RADICALIST on 02/03/2020 - 23:42

    Waste of time. My 13kwh batteries gets as low as 40% each day from minimal use. These 4.8kwh will be dead after a few years from draining to 0 and charging again

    • fedaykin on 03/03/2020 - 12:55

      What brand/battery pack do you have?

      • lostn on 03/03/2020 - 14:03

        eneloop, duh.
