Any rooftop solar system under 30kW will gain automatic approval from the networks,
. . . as long as it has equipment installed,
. . . that can prevent it from exporting electricity back into the grid,
. . . to avoid what they call the “Christmas Day” effect,
. . . when large amounts of solar electricity are fed back into the grid,
. . . when there is no demand.
Australian network operators are expected to follow,
. . . even if it does have the potential to accelerate grid defections and
. . . the so called “death spiral."
The average home consumers less than 1/2 the output,
. . . of an average 4kW solar system and with storage,
. . . households and businesses are now motivated to consume,
. . . all the output on the premises.
