Ausgrid's proposal for the 2024-29 regulatory period, where this is included, was submitted back in January 2023, two and a half years before it becomes mandatory. If anything I've thought that these tariff structure determinations are too slow moving - the process takes 18 months and then applies for 5 years.Or they may opt for fewer panels and get a battery instead. But the person who installed theirs 6 months ago has no foreknowledge that this was coming.
I do get that.. I work for a company that operates under the same process! But the details are not generally easy to find for the general public!Ausgrid's proposal for the 2024-29 regulatory period, where this is included, was submitted back in January 2023, two and a half years before it becomes mandatory.

I think if you're the kind of person that might choose to optimise the placement of their solar panels based on maximum return, it's not too much to expect you to be able to look up the tariff structure proposals for your distributor. At the very least, the solar installers should be across this when they're advising their clients what kind of system to install.I do get that..

Generally with our tariffs they grandfather the old ones for some time - the worst they would do is not allow new connections to use the old tariffs.
If you check the Amber thread I have a video showing the app and explaining a little about how it all worksTa, might be needing to move from Powershop to Amber soon
Not yet, there is 13months before it becomes compulsoryTime to buy the second battery
Is there a way to turn off grid exports for particular times of the day? Some sort of “smart” inverter or controller?
Another option for this is something like a hot-water diverter. MyEnergi makes one called the Eddi that operates on a similar basis to the Zappi - tracks your solar export and can be set to operated based on excess solar generation. Haven't looked into it, but apparently can also go to things like pool pumps, etc.Time to buy the second battery?
I have a dumber one called CatchPower - similar power rating.Another option for this is something like a hot-water diverter.
Hm, our pool pumps are already set to use midday power, but it's not as good for the pool itself as the chlorine generation (from salt) during this time frame is immediately degraded by the sun. Best to generate chlorine when the sun isn't up.Another option for this is something like a hot-water diverter.

Not possible which is why we went to dumb diverter and old school storage HWS.I'm not sure how that would work with heat pump systems that already have some sort of controller built into them
I also use the catchpower. Works well.I have a dumber one called CatchPower - similar power rating.
