Ah, transmission charges should be based on peak use/output. It seems like those issues could be avoided by shifting the grid connection to the the point after solar and storage are joined. (We're gonna need a bigger meter)Apologies for the late reply...
Possibly this just relates to grid regulations in my country if a battery is connected on the AC side it requires its own grid connection and additional network charges apply.
Currently regulations do not permit behind-the-meter batteries on solar farms but everyone expects that rule to change.
I suppose the main point is solar+batteries is a powerful combination, that has the potential to solve many problems.
Some of those problems are caused by sharing the grid with other solar farms in the area...
It is also the case that no matter how up pay for them transmission upgrades are expensive, so avoiding them is a major saving.
Or, allowing a virtual connection if the solar and battery control are linked. Similar to a powerwall solar setup with AC joined before the utility.
