Transgrid to build Australia's first megapack big battery in Western Sydney, the first of perhaps 10, preparing for the retirement of NSW's aging coal power plants.

That retrofit, whilst I’ve done it - cost more than the savings made in the first 3 years. [emoji6]Quote:

I have both. One is poisonous on price, great on performance and slightly longer life. The other is cheap, consistent and shorter lifespan.Quote:

AGM can also have a far higher charge rate in many applications so depending on array size can handle it better.
Real jobs during construction maybe...Quote:

South Australia names hydrogen hubs to foster growth in wind and solar.
South Australia is already a world leader in the deployment of wind and solar, which produced more than 57 per cent of state demand over the last 12 months, and on many occasions more than 100 per cent. Just over a week ago, its solar resources produced more than 100 per cent of state demand in one half hour period, a world first.
Both Port Bonython and Port Spencer could support green electrolysers of up to 2.5GW, which in turn would support wind and solar additions of between 6GW and 6.5GW at each facility, which would take the state’s wind and solar capacity to around 300 per cent of current state demand.

Just what we want - more infrastructure built on one of the most beautiful spots on the coast. [emoji35]
They already ****ed a pristine coastline when the Gas Refinery was built right on the coastline.
We've been doing this since 1788 - just look at Port Jackson!Quote:

It shoots excess Panel Generated power to the HWS instead of pushing it back to the grid. Saves us a Motza.
Whether that is a solution in your street I dunno as there may be other variables.
