LV circuits households connect to often don’t have a lot of spare capacity to absorb excess solar export in the day.
Voltage management is also a challenge with large amounts of solar export to the grid.
Solar systems are typically capped in the rate they can export to the grid for this reason.
Having a decent household battery to absorb solar output during the day and provide power at night could be a win-win both for households and power distributors.
For me I pay 20c (AUD) per kWH at night for electricity while selling electricity for 10c per kWH during the day. Using the electricity I generate at night instead potentially saves me 10c/KWH. At the right price I’d love one of these.
