MODERATORS
Where are they located? I suspect you may be being lied to.
Electrical companies can't just slap "novel charges" whenever they feel like it. The feed in tariff has dropped to piss-all, sure, but speaking as an aussie with a solar rig, there's a lot of ~~whingeing~~ talk about wanting to "bridge the shortfall" but not much action.
Some states allow to charge for exporting during low demand, but a battery system would usually be hoovering that up anyway. We're talking like $5-$15 a year
Yeah I understand that impluse but I'm not in Australia and I apologize for veering out of Australian context with this community. I'm not being lied to.
You might want to amend your original comment to state "in my country" then
