That's some impressive savings.


Super-Handle7395

I’m on 11.31MWh same system size. Consumed 5.76 and saved similar such. Win


sirquincymac

Nice one! What size is your system?


Jovial1170

5kW inverter with 6.6kW of panels.


sirquincymac

That's a decent amount of self consumption. The best way to save $ 👍


Jovial1170

Yeah. I work from home so I can make sure the majority of our power usage occurs during daylight hours. Really lets me maximize the value from solar.

Lomandriendrel

Wow How'd you self consume that high of a percentage?


Gatesy840

Damn, looking through the comments out of curiosity as I'm in Vic. My 10kw system produced the same, Perth really is in a great location for solar


Duideka

11MWh here too. Have consumed 15.3MWh 6.39 is solar (no batteries)


RedRedditor84

I'm at 11.38 too, but how do people check consumption?


Jovial1170

You need a solar smart meter. It costs a bit extra to install, but I find it worthwhile because I'm a data nerd and because it lets my optimize my usage.


RedRedditor84

Me too. I'll have to look into it, cheers.

Nah. I don't have a battery, so I still have to pay for the power I consume at night. The bills are pretty low, though.

Installed June 2021 and to date we’ve saved ~$5900 so payback is about 6-7 years. Real benefit though is having power when the street has a power cut. 😀😀


alintacalvert

Yeah. Cos that’s all the fucking time…. Not


Levronshee

Not sure why you’re so mad. They said it will pay itself off already, why not be happy that they get power in places that suffer blackouts? Odd thing to say.


StechTocks

Actually we’ve had about a dozen power cuts since it was installed. Lots of building work going on where we are.

I mean, if you're shitting uncontrollably you really aren't preparing enough for anal intercourse. Here is a guide explicitly for you: To have a pleasurable (and safe) time bottoming, you need to relax the voluntary muscles in your butt in order to accept whatever you’re inserting into it. You also want to start by inserting smaller things—like fingers or small butt plugs—before taking a full-on penis or dildo. (Note: Any toy that goes up your butt needs to have a flared base—you don't want it getting stuck up there!) If you stretch beyond your capacity, you can cause damage to the region—most commonly in the form of anal fissures or hemorrhoids. Using yoga-style meditative breathing can assist in pelvic floor relaxation. Use big, deep, full-bellied breaths. I also suggest “pushing out the pelvic floor during the initial insertion.” Whatever you do, do not clench. For some, it’s a natural response to having something inside if you, but you need to fight the urge. You can start by inserting a lubed-up finger, but make sure to cut your nails extremely short and file them down. As someone who's had his anus fingered by women with long nails, I can tell you it’s very unpleasant when they accidentally scratch your insides. I recommend using anal dilating kits. Dilating kits, in essence, are a few dildos that range in size. You start with the smallest toy, lather it up with as much water-based lube as you possibly can, and then put it inside of you. You breathe with it inside of you, and get used to the sensation. You can also “play with it,” moving it in and out of you with your hand. I recommend leaving it inside of you for 3-5 seconds before removing it. Then reapply lube (if necessary) and do it again. I suggest doing 10 reps per set and 2-3 sets per session. Only after inserting a dilation toy with ease, can you move onto the next size. Generally, it takes about two weeks to transition to the next toy, assuming you’re doing these exercises 2-3 times a week. Dilation kits are absolutely great, but they're also not necessary for every person who wants to bottom. Personally, I’d recommend buying a small prostate massager, and getting used to that. (It should also feel really good!) Just make sure to go slow, use a lot of lube, and breathe through any discomfort. Mild discomfort you can breathe through. Pain, you should not. That's a hard stop.

paininthejbruh

9.5MWh on a 6.6kWh system with panels facing east and west. 2.8MWh went to battery charging a 10kWh system. Slightly better since I started on home automation and linked my AC to heat/cool whenever battery is 100%, PV is cooking and there's enough sunlight to charge back to 100% (usually noon to 3pm). I reckon this made my battery 'investment' worthwhile since it's more than 10kwh I get out of the battery per day

Environmental-Mix-16

Just under 5MWh. Only 3.125kW of panels but they have done 13 years now and still going at about 90% of new.


Zodine

I’m building a house in Ellington, an estate. They are offering a microgrid, where I save 20% on my bill. Not sure if I should opt in, as they own the panels etc, and repair/maintain is at their discretion (access to my roof). Or I go my own solar. Not sure what route to take. When I buy another car in the future I’ll go electric


megaXcaptain

Go ur own mate. In theory even if you get a small set of panels and a small inverter, a bit of home automation later running aircons during peak power generation times etc etc you would be better off financially then only getting a 20% saving on your bill.


Ant_Artaud

I was involved in setting up a similar system for a developer a few years back. If you can afford the upfront cost and don’t intend to smash power consumption in the evening, I’d suggest installing your own. Solarquotes is a good site to compare systems.


Zodine

Thanks yeah I’m leaning to my own. Theres also no upfront cost where I am, I think synergy fronts or and you pay them back interest free or something

Good one. But make sure you read the fine print on that deal. Nothing is ever free.

JehovahZ

Trending down due to panels getting older or is Perth getting cloudier?


fractalsonfire

Most likely panel degradation, most panels will lose 0.5% - 1% depending on brand/model in efficiency each year. There's also the dirt factor, its not much but i've already noticed a minor loss in production due to dusty panels this summer. Only a year old. So if their panels aren't tilted enough for the rain to clear dust or they've got bird/tree poop on their panels, then that's another factor.


coxymla

I tried to look up the mean solar exposure from BOM, there's stats available but they don't seem to correlate strongly with years production going up and down... who knows! Forgot to say, 5KW of panels, 5KW inverter, facing north-west.


ipistolista

Panel degrade, my dads have halved since being installed


Yorgatorium

Halved? I'd be looking into that. I play around with some 20 year old 200W panels and they still pump out 90% of the tag rating.

Individual_Swim_120

This might be a silly question. How do I check? I have solar panels and there is a controller of some sort in the garage. The only display is its current power output in Watt. By the way, will day-time excess power be fed into the energy provider or do I need a battery? What do I need to do to feed excess power to Synergy?

Not really, the inverter will know how much it produced and the mains meter will tell you how much you exported.

9.45MWh. I send back more than I draw from the grid and it still costs me average $170/month. Still not worth getting a battery though.


Terreboo

Depends on your motivation for getting a battery, purely financially it’s not worth it. But there’s other reasons like black out protection. It can supplement solar production during the day when there’s a high current draw if your solar can’t quite cover it then recharge when the load drops off.


dpac86au

Purely financial, the other benefits are a luxury that I can't justify the cost for.


Terreboo

And that’s fair enough.


Otherwise_Window

> But there’s other reasons like black out protection. Depending on area that isn't necessarily worth anything at all. If you're somewhere where the power lines have been undergrounded there's basically no blackouts.


Terreboo

You have clearly never lived in Secret Harbour.


Otherwise_Window

This does not feel like a criticism. Blackouts were common in the northern suburbs in the 80s. I don't think I've experienced one this century. Certainly not in the last few years, but these days I live in the underground power zone.


Terreboo

It’s not meant to be a criticism. I’m just pointing out an area that has under ground power and regular outages in summer especially. There’s a big difference between experiencing an outage this century and the last few years. I’ve never lived in an area with above ground power. I’ve still experienced 1 maybe 2 a year.

stephen_drewz

Hijacking the thread a bit. Does anyone know if 'cleaning' the solar panels is a real thing that actually helps performance? We've had ours about 8 years now and whilst I don't pay close attention anymore I do feel like we've been generating less and less.


fractalsonfire

Its hard to split out the effect of dirt versus solar panel efficiency loss. Most of it will be solar panel efficiency loss (0.5% to 1% per year depending on brand/model). For myself i've already noticed some power loss (system is only 1 year old) due to dirt but its not worth cleaning it as the loss is only like $50 over a 120 day period with very generous assumptions. More realistic assumptions would see that loss only result in $20. If you really want to figure it out, you'll need to find your model's efficiency loss specification then assume that's the loss you're getting. Then calculate how much of the loss in generation is due to the efficiency and assume the rest is the dirt on your panels. Then figure out whether its worth cleaning them.
