34 outside, 23 inside, zero grid usage. 'twas priciest part of the reno but zerooooo regrets.
same! my total reusable energy percentage takes a hit at night though. I was ~90% but dropped to ~80%. Cant wait to get my first bill and see what it looks like.
we haven't been able to swing a battery yet, but it's on the list. (a mate who has a giant whole house one in woop woop was taunting me during the outage. Joke's on him, he lives in moe)
Moe is not idea. But at least closer to Melbourne than Traralgon, and you dont have to live with the power plants as much.
@TinyBreak @Taleya I live half an hour from Moe up in the BawBaw Ranges and it's lovely. Don't have a battery sorted yet, but it is also on the list, as we get regular shortish outages.
I’ve got to look into that - there’s so much info it’s a bit overwhelming
Piece of advice: My Redback invertor seems to give me a LOT more data that my brother in laws fronius invertor gives him. When you speak to an electrician for quotes its worth asking how the app is, and making sure it can give you both usage and generation data to make it easier to use your solar.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to put some research time aside and get on to that govt website, too
