This text discusses strategies for optimizing solar battery usage, monitoring system performance, understanding time-of-use tariffs, and engaging with the Origin Loop VPP program to save money by selling stored solar energy. It also provides insights into future trends in solar technology integration within Australia.
- Strategic Grid Drawing: Analyzing system data can optimize grid interaction based on usage patterns.
- Time-of-Use Tariffs**: Strategic use of solar batteries during cheaper off-peak hours is encouraged by certain electricity plans.
- Battery Capacity Increase**: Higher initial costs are offset by reduced grid dependency and lower energy bills over time.
- Origin Loop VPP Program**: Offers a $400 bonus for letting the system feed power back into the grid during peak times, alongside other incentives.
- Technological Advances**: Anticipates improved self-consumption and smart grid management with advancing battery tech and distributed solar systems.
