Today is a brilliant day. It’s a gorgeous summer day in Wodonga, Victoria and with the sun shining, our 6.5kW solar system is collecting a hard 5kW of power, limited by the SolarEdge inverter (and restrictions by the energy distributor). When spilling power like this, it’d be the perfect...

Using large-grid scale batteries is becoming increasingly common in Australia. Famously South Australia led the way with a 100MW/129MWh battery at the Hornsdale Power Reserve. At the time it was the largest battery in the world and in its first 2 years of operation, the project saved SA consumers...

Yesterday, Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the Government would build energy infrastructure if the private market wasn’t able to. We’ve seen in recent years that Australia’s energy supply can be problematic, as legacy coal-fired power plants reach their end of life. Unless replacement capacity can be sourced, and...
