Company: Green.com.au
Very nice installation by green.com.au and I’d recommend a solar install from them. We got 4x 13kW Alpha ESS battery modules. Ring 0485 977 502 and talk to Jack.
No affiliate links or commissions, I just love their work.
It’s very hard today to find contractors who take pride in their work and do the best job they can. These installers went above and beyond. I’m very happy with the professionalism of their install.
Problem with the NSW regulations
It’s the second day of my battery and I tried to set it up to charge during the day, then discharge back into the grid at night so as to boost the grid in the evening. It would not work. A quick search revealed this is the same case for everyone. From what I can work out, this feature is disabled in Australia so that you cannot set your battery to discharge during certain hours. It will only discharge when you are using it, you cannot set it to discharge into the grid. Very disappointing.
A kind of Solution: VPP
Today I signed up to Amber Energy, they supposedly allow you to discharge into the grid under a VPP (Virtual Power Plant) system. I’d prefer to retain control and charge and discharge when I want, but this seems to be the only way to do it You sign up to a VPP and they take control of your battery. I’ll post here as to whether it works or not.
In case it’s good, here’s a code I got to make $10 if I refer other people and they also get $10 off a month. If you use Amber feel free to use it.

Give me a few days and I’ll let you know if it’s worth it.
