We had a Federal election in Australia in May, one of the election promises was a 30% subsidy on house batteries. They told us before the election it'd be good for the country as a whole, and not just people willing and able to get one installed that. This is because everyone will benefit from the programme due to lower peak demand in the evening as people either self consume excess solar produced during the day, or because they can get paid $1/kWHr to export to the grid during peak time. Just waiting for ours to be installed, along with the rest of the country except Graham Eddy, who already has his. Although I've never come across this situation before, the installed price dropped more than 20% from when we placed our order in June, you'd expect the company to absorb the extra as profit, can't say I'm complaining. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
