Daryl was able to talk us through our questions and expectaations. His choice to use a regular install crew that he could trust and rely on is a good call, rather than just random hired hands. The battery really is the game changer enabling power to be used later in the day, coupled with maximising Contact's free power 9.00 - midnight, meaning in summer very little paid for power used, whilst being paid for export. In fact in summer, in the evening I was able to charge 2 electric cars at the same time as sending power back to the grid! In winter, obviously not generating as much, but still about half of what it would have been - that's with 2 heat pumps, 2 electric cars (and no pertol bills), 1 spa as well as the water heating and other uses. The battery came into it's own yesterday during a planned power outage, where using the app on the phone we could ensure we had 100% stored when the power went out. The house functioned normally until the power was restored. The connection to 'stormwatch', also meant the battery started charging automatically recently when potential outages due to a very cold snap, meant we also would have been okay, had we lost power. The resilience to weather and seismic events along with the savings by self generating, in an environment where I can only see power prices increasing - not least by the recent government decision to cancel a hydro dam (reducing supply) - will mean the system will come into it's own and potentially pack back sooner.
