While it is the company’s hope that similar subsidy schemes will eventually be introduced on federal level to further empower consumers, Redback systems are already available under a similar subsidy program run by the Queensland government. The QU program is smaller in size and provides battery grants to up to 1,500 households and small businesses, including grants of $3,000 and interest-free loans of up to $10,000 over 10 years for up to 10,000 combined solar and battery storage systems, as well as grants of $3000 and interest-free loans of up to $6,000 for 500 batteries.

The subsidy levels and the subsidy cap are, however, expected to reduce over time as competition in the market increases and the cost of home battery systems goes down.

“People automatically think ‘Oh, you’re only doing it because you want to be green or because you want the publicity,’ but there’s also a lot of operational things in there,” Lloyd says. “It’s about running a business efficiently.

How does a on grid micro inverter system adapt to hybrid solar ? Like the direction the inverter tech in going.

Based on my experience as well as the simplicity and quality of the car, I plan to keep my Model S at least 2x as long as any other car. Assuming I drive 150k miles my savings on gas and maintenance scales to $22.5k and my Tesla cost drops to $63,000. If I did sell, studies show the resale value of the Model S exceeds other cars in its class and the Model 3 is probably even stronger. According to a 2018 report by Loup Ventures a 50k Model S has lost just 28% of its value versus 40% for a BMW 7 series. That extra retained value is worth 12% of my $87 pre-tax purchase price, or $10,400. Pushing my Tesla cost down to $52,560. Way cheaper than any car in its class.
