How many days a year are you in the money wrt to trading the battery capacity
Everyone’s experience will be different depending on what State they live in, the size of their solar array, battery (if they have one) and consumption patterns.
My experience to date in NSW has not been particularly happy. I picked a terrible time to join, and that’s on me, but I think the model does not seem to work very well in NSW. It’s probably much better in SA, VIC and ACT (i.e. jurisdictions with high renewable percentages) and for those whose solar arrays generate considerably more than 100% of their household consumption over a year, hence can export a lot (mine doesn’t, it generates about 50% of our usage).
I’ve made coin on only one day so far, but the main problem is that some days I am paying
a lot. In fact, despite having a solar array, a battery, and three consecutive sunny days in Sydney, the past 3 days have cost me $12/day just in usage costs. I might be setting some Amber records for a customer with battery+solar, but not in a good way
Extrapolating to a 92 day quarter, that would be a $1100 bill, plus Amber, network and 100% greenpower costs to be added on top. All up, it would be more than double the worst-ever bill I’ve had in the past 12 months.
