Does anybody have an idea of how a peaksmart enabled air conditioner and solar PV supply interact?
If Energex cap my aircon power can I make up this lost power with my solar so my aircon is not affected at all?

Don't let them control your a/c.
I also don't like the idea, that's why I'm trying to circumvent it :)
My next option is to just ask to leave the program the next time I'm getting a sparky around and add 5min of labour to disconnect the device.
Doesn't appear to be any penalty, just a disincentive of having to pay a sparky to do it. Would usually cost more than the rebate I guess.
I believe the answer is no, unless you also have a battery.
The peak cut-off already takes account of the generation coming into the grid from solar.
