Good news, friends! I’ve discovered a new solar panel manufacturer site full of bizarre English! It is brilliant! I haven’t been this happy since since the days when Risen Energy boasted about having a blue ocean strategy instead of a red ocean where the fish keep biting each other. [Read more…]
If you add $2,200 to the existing $6,000 SA battery subsidy, South Australians can get an $8,200 discount on the TeslaPowerwall 2. But as always, read the small print.
On Thursday Tesla announced it will lower the price of its Powerwall 2 battery storage system by $2,200 for South Australian residents. This will make the Powerwall 2’s minimum installed cost around $7,100. After adjusting for the SA battery subsidy it’s now only around $1,000 more than it was at the start of 2018. With luck we won’t have to wait too much longer for it to be back down to where it was 20 months ago. [Read more…]
If you asked me how much solar you should put on your roof I would say, “As much as you can without doing something stupid like borrowing from the mafia or doubling up on solar panels by stacking them on top of each other.” In other words, install as much as you can without making problems for yourself.

ACT has a powerful battery rebate, but only 3 battery sales companies are allowed to be part of it.
Do you live in the ACT and want the highest solar battery rebate in Australia? Well, you can’t have it! The only way you can get that is to move your ACT arse to SA. If you come to Adelaide be sure to bring some kangaroos with you because, unlike Canberra, we never see them hopping through the suburbs here. [Read more…]
Hyundai have increased the product warranty of their solar panels from 12 to 25 years! O frabjous dai! Hyun! Hyai!
I have great news for anyone who wants a 25 year product warranty on their solar panels but doesn’t want to pay big bucks to get it. On the first of this month Hyundai Energy Solutions increased their product warranty in Australia from 12 to 25 years.1
The cheapest electricity plans for 6.5kW solar owners (with median self-consumption) are Amaysim, Origin, and Energy Australia.
The three most populous states — and South Australia — all have electricity retailer choice. This gives people the freedom to choose the electricity plan that’s best for them, while electricity retailers do their best to stop that from happening. [Read more…]
An exclusive shot of Solar Victoria’s efficient new process for handling solar installation businesses.
Well, that’s it. They have made their decision. The Andrews Government in Victoria had a clear moral choice. They could either… [Read more…]
And they are talking real dollars – not Zimbabwe dollars.
Attention, fellow capitalists! Our god, the Moody’s rating agency, has put out a report on the economic effects of climate change and — in return for a small fee — I will tell you all about it. Just put $50 in an envelope and mail it to me and then keep reading. I trust you. [Read more…]
Well, that makes a nice change…
This morning I woke up, checked the horse was still alive, checked the children were still alive,1 and then checked my email. To my surprise there was one from Finn telling me the price of the Tesla Powerwall 2 had dropped. [Read more…]
Does the SA Energy Minister understand battery payback?
Last month my boss, Finn, received a letter inviting him to a “Home Battery Forum” hosted by South Australia’s Minister for Energy and Mining, Daniel Cornelius van Holst Pellekaan, at the Marion RSL. As Finn couldn’t make it and I was curious what the Dutchest of all Australian Energy Ministers had to say, I attended. [Read more…]
