More info    Why buy a PowerCap®? If you’re looking to invest in a PowerCap® system you can expect: reduced or often $0 energy bills, blackout protection, Microgrid capability and grid independence.                 What is a PowerCap®? Researched, designed and developed in Australia, the PowerCap® energy storage carbon battery is like no other on the market today. The PowerCap® is a graphene supercapacitor and unlike its Lithium-ion counterparts, has a longer lifespan and superior efficiency. 

I came across this site recently and they claim it’s better than lithium  It’s developed in Australia  More info here  https://renewable.net.au/forum/12-energy-storage-discussion/?do=add   Residential Energy Generation Specializing in sustainable energy generation systems since 2012, our engineers are well equipped to supply even the most unusual homes with a custom renewable energy solution.

Analysis for September 2020   Daily Averages - Production: 40.6 kWh Consumption: 30.3 kWh Own Consumption: 15.8 kWh Export: 24.7 kWh Import: 14.4 kWh Cost: - $1.29 (ie. earned $1.29 per day) Yield: 4.7 kWh/kW   September was sunnier than predicted, as production was 1,218 kWh against a predicted 1093 kWh (11% over predicted). The best day was September 26th with 56.9 kWh produced. The worst day was September 18th with just 6.0 kWh produced.   In September we had 25 'Green Days', where we exported more than we imported, our best yet. September was also a 'Green Month' exporting 742 kWh to the grid, against 432 kWh drawn from the grid.   Cheers, Jason.

Hi Arnold, welcome to the forums.   With your Fronius Smart Meter, yes you need a ‘Premium’ account, but you just have to create it, it costs nothing. It’s free.   Making a premium account gives you a lot of very useful extra features.   Cheers,  Jason.  

Hi, This is Arnold from Sydney West.... We just recently installed a 6.6 KW / 20 panels PV system in our house...the install was not  without hiccups but eventually we get there -- issues were rectified... We got Fronius Inverter + Q-cell panels, i also had a smart meter installed but i did not know that you need subscription to be able to use its other important monitoring features .... Yeah, i agree 100% that one need to do his research, understand the basics of PV system at least....and most importantly - research the PV system installer before committing... Thank you for this opportunity to be part of this forum... Cheers Arnold
