              @Jinster: I believe it is possible but controlled load is the cheapest form of electricity from the grid so most people probably dont want to.

              Also bear in mind a single PW2 has a maximum 5kWh output. Every now and then when I run 2 aircons, an oven, a microwave and whatever else simultaneously I peak at about 9kWh draw - of which the PW2 can only feed 5kWh so 4kWh from the grid at those times. Another reason why I want a second PW2 for 10kWh simultaneous input/output….

        Perhaps "It is not worth it for my situation" is more accurate.

      • rooster7777 on 11/08/2023 - 16:44

        Clearly you need more solar panels to provide an effective balance… unless you use round 10KWh per hour running the ducted air conditioner in your 2 story home etc…

    • Bdawg on 11/08/2023 - 13:40

      Google solar calculator, there are lots of them around. Have a few bills on hand and plug in the details and you'll get a reasonable idea. From my intermittent research solar panels are 6-8 year payback period which is quite good. Battery payback is a lot longer, not worth it for most people. When I get a solar system I'm going to make sure I get one that I can retrofit with a battery, so that when batteries come down I can install one.

      • edman on 11/08/2023 - 13:47

        I have a non-Tesla battery at my office. For me, ROI was a consideration, but the backup it provides during interruptions, was the biggest incentive to get one. Although ROI should be considered, it isn't the be all and end all.

        • brilliantthings on 11/08/2023 - 14:30
          +1

          Which battery did you get?

          • edman on 11/08/2023 - 16:32
            +2

            @brilliantthings: BYD, but it was about 5 years ago. At the time, no other real options for 3 phase unless I bought 3 powerwalls or just ran the battery on 1 phase. It was a modular one, so even though I maxxed out on capacity at purchase, I was able to add 15% about 12 months later when there was a firmware update.

    • Cupa Bundy Drinker on 11/08/2023 - 14:03

      Let's consider an extreme case..
      Assumptions: recharge it for free, cost of the electricity 0.30$ per kwh, all the stored energy used in evening/night.
      So, we can save 13.3 * 0.3$ = $3.99 per day.
      Or $1460 per year.
      Or the battery will pay for itself in 10 years.

      • enigma48 on 11/08/2023 - 14:27
        +7

        Good summary.

        And for anyone using this number - keep in mind this impossibly optimistic:
        - Charging for free is good, but that "free" solar was making you 5-10c/kWh which now goes to your battery (So $.60-1.33 per day lost = $200-500 FIT lost/yr)
        - In winter, you'll be charging your battery partly from the grid (definitely not free)

        You can try to make some money by selling power to the grid during events (VPP or Amber SmartShift) but you won't make heaps. Maybe add back the $200-500/yr you lost.

        • angers on 11/08/2023 - 15:48
          +1

          As you say you may lose a good portion of your FIT topping up the battery (between 5-12c/kWh) but you also have to consider how much you are consuming & paying for when the sun has gone down. I am paying 0.37/kw, which in an ideal world would save me $4.99/day.

          A quick look at my data I have been exporting just over 22.0kWh for the last few days (obviously I need more data points). So I would have enough to fill the battery and receive a small FIT, it will hopefully get better as we head into the warmer months. It depends on how big your PV system is as well.

        • Cupa Bundy Drinker on 11/08/2023 - 17:25
          +1

          And $13k would generate $650+ of interest per year.

      • Public21 on 11/08/2023 - 15:33

        I'm paying more than 30-cents a kwh, so the savings are greater, but you need to look at how much you are currently exporting each day.

        As @enigma48 says you have to take into account lost FIT, but also, are you currently exporting enough each day to divert it to charge the battery?

        I have daily stats going back about 8 months - albeit with a smaller system than many recent installations - but my average export is probably about 10kwh and there are many days where it is less than that because of clouds, or we are doing several loads of washing and self-consuming the solar. On a lot of days we would not charge a 10 kwh battery, let alone one of these.

        To change that we would need to add a couple of grand for additional panels to generate sufficient solar power and that would be without subsidy. Makes the battery payback much longer.

      • anthonyw on 11/08/2023 - 15:55

        I guess someone with high usage could recharge overnight off peak and use it in the morning before solar kicks in too for a bit more benefit? Probably isn't huge in the scheme of the calculations though

      • HappyPuppies on 11/08/2023 - 16:22

        Add some annual battery degration to that, the ROI gets extended by a few years. PW2 warranty is 70% capacity at 10 years, so might be able to straightline that into the assumption.

        I have a PW2 and the software usually mixes in some grid energy (presumably to ensure battery longevity) so that battery doesnt go low.

      • hazwing on 11/08/2023 - 17:43

        Also might want to factor in the cost of electricity going up in future and potentially saving on demand tariffs. Could reduce pay back period slightly

    https://solarhub.net.au/smart_distributed_batteries_project/

    I'm getting a 5k rebate for my Powerwall on the AGL VPP, so hopefully I'm eligible for another 750 rebate. My install is booked in for 2 months time as well.

      Interesting!

  • kungfuman on 11/08/2023 - 14:35

    if you use a referal code you will get tesla credits as well not sure if they give you the 10,000 credits like they do for the cars though

    • DoctorCalculon on 12/08/2023 - 03:49

      The referral randomiser at the top is only for cars, not for batteries.

    • Kapitoshka on 11/08/2023 - 14:47

      Tesla may announce what they want. If it is not supported by your local electricity provider it ain't gonna happen.

        • Kapitoshka on 11/08/2023 - 15:01

          Nope, it is not. This is not right forum to discuss V2L, V2H and V2G. I suggest you take it offline instead of negging and educate yourself about export/import rules. There is a big difference between an opinion (or perhaps wishful thinking) and knowledge.

  • MaxHashrate on 11/08/2023 - 14:44
    +2

    Whether it is worth it depends on your area and how much power u consume.

    In WA, if u go on the smart plan, the cost of electricity doubles on peak (3pm to 9pm) and half on off peak so your Tesla battery covers the peak. The plan I'm on ( no longer open to new customers) meant I am only paying 16c from 9pm to 7am.

    Another key feature is energy security. When there is outages you can still have power assuming u charged it and there is sun.

    • jv on 11/08/2023 - 15:26

      and there is sun.

    Just not seeing the value in these solar and battery deals and its likely that pricing will keep moving to make the value proposition not much different in the future.

      Solar is incredibly good value. Panels are dirt cheap now and payback is a few years for most use cases.

      Batteries are stubbornly expensive and low capacity though and payback is more like 10-12 years.

      The powerwall 2 is 13.5KWh so it seems to be a bigger battery

    Still not economically viable unless regional

        • Nom on 12/08/2023 - 20:48

          One Powerwall has nowhere near enough output to be self sustainable for a normal home - at 5KW sustained output each, you'd need three or four Powerwalls unless you want to have some major appliance limitations !

  • ozisaver on 11/08/2023 - 22:33

    Even if they offered a $7500 rebate I still couldn’t afford one of these. Guess I’ll never afford a Tesla either.

    • neonlight on 12/08/2023 - 13:14

    Just free marketing crap for the true believers. Oh oh oh but batteries are getting cheaper not yet though soon just you wait and see and I get a rebate so I’m miles ahead!!! The reality is clear but what a fool believes he sees.

    Neg away! Just draws attention to the truth!

  • neonlight on 12/08/2023 - 10:10

    What's the point of these? You only need them if you got a EV right? Or you can use it to hold charges from solar panel? Also you need to feed back to grid anyway not like you can use the charges without pulling from grid. Unless you can use the charges until depleted and then use grid afterwards??

    I’ve got same quotes. Is it standard for all batteries to back up only single phase? You also get an offer $800 credit when you join simply energy virtual plant, they have poor ratings in product review though.

    • itsme56 on 29/08/2023 - 18:59

      Virtual Plant means they get to drain your battery and export your power though. Not a good deal. Best deal is keeping your home produced energy stored for your own use.

  • DoctorCalculon on 08/09/2023 - 21:13

    For those with Enphase MIs, would you still go with the Tesla PW2 or the recently released (in AU) Enphase 5P battery system?

    Tesla PW2 still comes out way cheaper (lower $/kWh).

    However, PW2 is using the older (slightly unsafe) Li-NMC battery chemistry vs lithium iron phosphate (safer) for Enphase 5P.
    Also, 10-year (for PW2) vs 15-year (for E5P) warranty.

  • sebasg91 on 29/12/2023 - 06:40

    Any updates on rebate application? I got mine installed mid-November, submitted my rebate request end of Nov and the status has been in "Application Submitted" since. This is the response I got:
    "We received your submission as of 11/30/2023. Tesla will review your claim within one to two weeks of your submission in the Tesla app. The review process can take up to 14 days. If your request has been approved, the rebate will be processed and transferred to your bank account. Transfers can take up to four weeks to reach the account."
    I'd have hoped the status changed to reviewing or something at least…

    • itsme56 on 01/01/2024 - 20:42

      Mine was installed in August and still waiting for it to be reviewed. Submitted it the day the submissions went live. Bit of a joke considering the site says 14 days. It’s been 60 or more and no change.

      • DoctorCalculon on 02/01/2024 - 21:51

        I am about to submit my PW2 installations now (installed in Dec 2023).

        Surely, there has to a support phone number to escalate the processing of these rebates for you guys.

        • itsme56 on 03/01/2024 - 15:49

          I called the support line and was basically told tough luck you have to wait, nothing they can do to expedite it, it will be reviewed when they get to it. Was told they are running over 2 months behind.
          Bit peeved seeing as though people who submitted around same time maybe slightly after me have been paid accordingly to a forum on whirlpool. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/9z4yn5km
