- FIRSTLY: You need to invest in the correct sized Energy Storage and Solar Array, as that in turn allows you to store & self consume all your own daily energy needs.
If not & you remain Grid connected, you will remain enslaved to paying the deceptively titled electricity Retailers (see this Video ) $30~$40per Month just to remain state-grid connected.
The deceptively named Retailers inflate the actual cost of energy by over 300% (commercial peak rate is 8~11cents kWh), and Retailers Only hand you an electricity Bill, and lets not forget the misleading self governed energy regulators, who in turn are owned by State Grid!
- Energy Storage is the Golden key to becoming Power independent, how you charge your energy storage is the next most important matter to understand, when set-up correctly you will NEVER have to purchase energy again, off-grid people know this, keep in mind, a Feed In Tariff (FIT) or Grid Credit is a paid/credited reward for what would normally be wasted power!
In 2025 LiFePo4 Battery's are best in affordability at $180kWh, with approx. a 10yr cycle life, where NiFe batteries are over double the Cost per kWh, and have a proven track record to last for 30~60+years, during that time your original investment cost would have been returned 10 fold in ongoing energy savings/rewards, and like a car, batteries are easy to relocate!
- Solar Panels: We first offer the latest Solar panel technology, being 720W Bi-facial, Shingled Monocrystalline panels, as well as 610W Shingled Solar Panels !
People with existing Solar are in the best position whilst the FIT is so low!
NB: Think for a minute, if you export say 5'000kWh of energy a Year (13kWh day) to your retailer @$0.08kWh you get a measly Yearly rebate of $400, where if you sent that energy into storage, you save paying for 5'000kWh @$0.30 =$1'500 per year, that savings will in turn Pay for your battery(s), by self consuming your own electricity after hours!
With existing Solar, the investment in batteries usually takes 1~3 year to self fund, in energy savings.
NB: In most cases, it would be way better to relocate Rooftop solar panels onto a DART Unit, if you have the ground space !
- Hybrid-Inverter: Is an Inverter that has Battery & Solar input power !
Why you may Asking ? Because common Solar only inverters are only good for Solar input, Not Solar & Battery Power.
Hybrid Inverters allow you at any time to plug in batteries, and a Generator, or even Wind & Aqua generation, it's a simple a plug & play upgrade.
LUX & YiY Hybrid inverters can automatically start & stop a generator as programmed, this would normally only happen late in the evening or very early in the morning, usually to simply produce additional energy to top-up your batteries in the event they were heavily discharged, or extended period of bad weather, running just long enough to top-up the batteries get you through to Sunrise, where your Solar array will take over again.
- FINALY: Installing a Dual-Axis Solar Radiation Tracking Solar Arrays in the greater Sydney region, Generates Maximum Solar Energy up to 10 hours per day, and the further South you live the more Energy is Generated, a DART unit increase the energy generated per year to over 60% more Energy than any fixed Solar Racking, Solar Tracking is covered here in more detail.
