In Queensland some of the electricity providers now have a 0c solar rebate meaning you get nothing. In 2025 the regulator will allow QLD to revise to allow these companies to slug solar users like in NSW meaning that the current crop of companies offering 0 cents will be able to effectively have a solar rebate towards them rather than towards you.

JBP posted:Can't you just put your rooftop solar into a battery these days? Not if your primary motivation is reduced environmental impact (and possibly not from an economic perspective either). If you look at a full-life-cycle analysis, adding a battery massively reduces the environmental benefit from having solar panels. Like a multifold reduction. If you've got rooftop solar because you wanted to in some way reduce your carbon footprint etc, then adding a battery directly works against that.

I just had a second home battery unit installed today so take that environment I guess. I haven't seen the life cycle analysis for static batteries in detail but most of the sources expressing horror about their environmetal impact in an ev context tend to be reflecting concerns from bodies like the Heritage Foundation who only care about environmental impact of technologies when they can use it as a wedge to undermine alternatives to fossil fuels. It is extremely murky.

Probably depends on where the alternative power is coming from. If you’re comparing the environmental impact of a battery vs a grid supplied solely by renewable sources the battery probably sucks. If you’ve got a bunch of brown coal burning power stations providing the power it wouldn’t surprise me if the battery is better.

Most profitable use for a household battery is peak shaving - charging during the middle of the day and discharging in the early evening peak load period. So the battery is likely to be displacing gas generation, even more so as solar/wind makes "base load" coal nonviable. Burning methgas releases significantly less CO2 than coal but the big impact is fugitive emissions - leaks from gas infrastructure. Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas.

Equation is a bit different in our case as the house has no grid electricity connection so this second battery should mean we basically never need to use the woodburner.

Battery vs woodburning stove might not be the massive brainteaser you're taking it for. Edit - maybe if you're planting and nurtring five trees for every one you cut down.

The Artificial Kid posted:Battery vs woodburning stove might not be the massive brainteaser you're taking it for. Erm I dont quite follow how that is posing it as a brainteaser? I was just saying the set of considerations related to payoff and utility are different in an off grid context both environmentally and financially. Much more complicated than just battery vs woodburner of course but practically the second battery os the difference between easily running the split system heating on winter mornings and not being able to.

Like I say most stuff I've seen is extrapolated from ev battery life cycle analyses and it is generally a minefield of bad faith garbage due to the politics around evs.

Going off grid was a no-brainer for him. This was exactly our situation except it was 50k connection cost. It was the only block we could afford at the time and thr lack of grid connection isn't the problem it used to be as off grid systems are so good now.

gay picnic defence posted:They can be vastly cheaper if you’re not already connected to the grid. I don’t think at current prices they make economic sense if you’re already connected though When I was a kid, lovely rural life meant power outages could occur at any time. Four, fives times a year. Sometimes out for a few hours, sometimes a few days. Back then, having a house battery would have worked great. Even now, when I maybe get a blackout once every two years, I'd get one if I wasn't renting just to avoid dealing with the bullshit. Also, I think the way they hook them up to your home includes a regulator which prevents surges and dips from potentially damaging your stuff.
