Interesting fact about Energy Watch (AMEO)

[AussiePhil]

Hey all,
In the past I’ve recommended the Website - https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem

But reading into it does not include Domestic Solar Panel Systems.

Not being Electrical Expert I think it’s because Domestic Solar Panels Systems only produces 230 - 250 volts and cannot be feed back through your 1100 volt Local Transformer?

If that’s the case Domestic Solar Panels it can’t be tracked, only guesstimated.

This guesstimating is very poor because of weather conditions and panel efficiency.

Governments should not be making Power policies on Guesstimations.

Cheers Phil.

Domestic panels produce 12 or 24 volts Phil, depending on how many individual cells are wired in series to make up the panel. The inverter bumps it up to 240 for domestic use.

Hey Geoff,

An inverter takes electricity that produces 'DC' electricity, such as solar panels or a battery system, and converts it into mains-equivalent 230 volt 'AC' electricity ready for use in your house or local usage.

You can back feed into a local transformer secondary winding for local usage but as I believe not into HV supply.

It’s like pissing in the Ocean.

The little voltage PV systems produce is highly effected by voltage loss over distance.

Cheers Phil.

Hey all,

Here is another type of Solar collection failure. (One Billion Dollars)

Yes, I am a Solar sceptic!
