The Good Energy House – Lane Cove 2023

House Notes – The Good Energy House – Lane Cove

Cost, was the initial primary driver, when I initially put 10 Kw of panels on the roof, it seems like a no brainer at the time…. you made the initial investment and the Govt paid you back with 70c a Kwh for your power…. we now have 16Kw of panels and a 20 Kw battery… utilising both a VPP (Virtual Power Plant), and an AI system to maximise the $$$. The ShareWaste, the Bees and the Garden were a lovely addition, just trying to do the right thing by my kids and the community.
