Hi,
As many would know, solar export tariff meant that people with solar excess that gets fed back to the grid, are compensated.
We had solar at our previous place, and if cut down our electronic charge massively (80%). We have abnormal conditions - in that I work from home, and was stubble to do most of our electric burn (washing machines, major cooking etc) during the day time.
Been here at our new place a few years, but just been super lazy about getting solar sorted. This place has a smaller roof, so our electric harvest will be reduced too. But just found out that export tariff is going away. And no change to storage terms, so one can't just charge up huge batteries with this charge either, without leaving the grid entirely.
I am no where near being able to leave the grid - so does this then mean no point in solar?? With kids in/out and working from home, I can still see some value, but seems like a lot of hassle.
Appreciate thoughts from all the wise folks here,
