New SA Inverter Rules Add $165 To Price Of SolarEdge Systems
Yesterday in SA, solar met 100% of demand for a short period. Hence the need for remote curtailment of new solar. SolarEdge inverters can meet this requirement. Image: Rob Morris
Update 14th December 2020: Good news! SolarEdge has informed me they no longer charge an additional $165 to cover the cost of meeting South Australia’s new inverter requirements.

On Thursday at 3:58 pm I was invited to a SolarEdge webinar that started at 4:00 pm. I was glad to get the invite, but the lack of notice meant I missed out on the first 5 minutes because I didn’t have time to set up my laptop/internet properly beforehand.

Northern Territory’s $6,000 Solar Battery Subsidy May Become $12,000

The Northern Territory has the nation’s most generous solar battery subsidy: $6,000 off a battery system. It’s already the biggest battery subsidy in Australia by a long way, and if the Country Liberals win the NT election this month they will double it to an insane $12,000. And by insane, mean they’d be nuts to make it that high. [Read more…]
