I have a single phase system Jason.
So the electricity infrastructure companies’ blunt instrument that Marty talked about is the issue.
That is just slightly daft, and so typical of Australia’s foot dragging/coal digging attitude. But then you get that when our leaders are actually followers. Reluctant followers at that. Grrr.
And had I known that I would have explored having three phase electricity installed last week when I had the meter box replaced and the circuit from the meter box to the connection point from the street upgraded from a 6mm wire to the current 15mm standard. Only for the L2 electrician to discover that from the house to the street pole is also only 6mm! Acceptable when the house was built in the mid-70s, but nowhere close to supplying all of the electrical appliances that we now all expect to have in our homes.
Is there no electronic gadget that I can strap to a system with 101 panels (!) that ensures that I only ever feed 5kW into the grid and keep them happy? That way I’d be getting maximum payback all day on my money instead of it stagnating in a bank.
