How does the car charge during the day when the solar panels are on the roof of my home and the car is in the work carpark?


The work carpark will have charging points that run on solar.



What if the carpark is underground


Does the building have a roof?

You also can't see the forest for the trees. In South Australia at least, we are basically at a point where for most of the day the grid itself is powered by renewables. So an EV plugged into the grid during the day is charged using renewable energy, regardless of whether that charging point itself is running directly off solar.[/quote]That in itself provides another issue as we that Aemo aren't ready for.

Regardless the amount of domestic solar now well surpasses what the Northern Power station provided, my argument and issue about this is that this was needed back in 2016 to avoid a nasty price spike.

Also on this the average cost of generation in SA has fallen 40% in the last year and about 42 - 43% in the last 2 from when we had a peak.

Your retailer has passed on 6% of that. So when we all get pissy about electricity prices, you know where to go.

We have no Federal policies in place to assist smooth transition. We are one of the worst-performing countries on climate change policy. It's an international embarrassment to sit alongside Brazil and Russia in this space.

South Australia aims for more than 500 pct renewables in new climate plan

South Australia’s Liberal state government predicts the state could boast more than 500 per cent renewable energy by 2050 as it becomes a national and international exporter of clean energy.

South Australia has sourced a world-leading 60 per cent of its local grid demand from wind and solar over the past 12 months and aims to reach “net 100 per cent renewables” by 2030 – a target that even federal energy minister Angus Taylor admits could be largely achieved by 2025 (according to his department’s most recent emissions projections).

Now, the South Australia government wants to go even further, suggesting in its newly unveiled climate action plan that green hydrogen has the potential to deliver six times more clean energy than its annual electricity consumption that it could export to other states and countries.

“South Australia’s transition to a net zero emissions economy and a national and international exporter of clean energy could mean achieving a level of renewable energy that is more than 500 per cent of current local grid demand by 2050,” says the document, launched by environment minister David Spears on Wednesday.

It should be noted that South Australia’s electricity demand is likely to increase from where it is now – thanks to economic and population growth, and the electrification of transport and buildings (i.e. the removal of gas).

Still, the 500 per cent target is far beyond that contemplated by other governments. Tasmania has announced a goal of 200 per cent renewables by 2040 so it can export excess renewables, primarily through the proposed new Marinus link to the mainland.

Does it take more energy to build a solar panel than it will create in its life time or is that a myth?
Also saw some of the early wind farms in the US have reached their expiry. Big dumping of the fibreglass fans at huge cost going on now.

The big battery out at Jamestown has been an absolute god send for that region. The only small question marks has been how the region best utilise the infrastructure required to house the construction once the battery is operational and many of the requirements are no longer required.

Its well over time that this government got rid of some of the heads of departments and installed some accountability

SA Health and Child Protection would be a good start
SA Health is still the biggest own patient and nothing has changed with this government

Cathy Taylor is properly qualified but if she has breached the rules by not informing the Minister of what she is supposed to, then its time these people are brought to account. Good to see labor having a whinge. It was such a success under their watch

Rob Lucas puts a pretty solid own goal in today.

Someone really needs to look at the issue of ramping and whether all of these people actually need to go to hospital

https://indaily.com.au/news/2021/01/05/ ... EAD%20MORE

Discussing this issue with medical friends at RAH, many of the people don’t actually need to go to hospital but it’s free so why not?
Also, the ambos pushing people to go to hospital when they probably don’t need to. A friend of mine was in a car accident but was fine. The ambos turned up and were very insistent she go to the FMC to be checked but half backed off when she told them she is a doctor herself and will get checked by an associate.

Transforming health was a disaster but honestly pouring money in to Modbury Hospital must be up there with the best **** ideas.

Shit hospital and shit staff. No point having upgraded facilities with the joke of "professionals" that apparently work there.

“World first”: South Australia achieves 100pct solar, and lowest prices in Australia

South Australia – maligned by conservatives over the world-leading share of wind and solar in its grid – now boasts the cheapest wholesale electricity prices in the country, even as it reaches “world first” levels of 100 per cent solar power.

The Australian Energy Market Operator, in its latest Quarterly Energy Dynamics report, confirms that South Autralia – as first reported exclusively by Renewconomy three months ago – served all of its electricity demand for more than an hour shortly after mid-day on October 11 through rooftop and utility scale solar.

AEMO says this is a world-first in a grid of this size, and occurred in a December quarter when South Australia posted the lowest wholesale electricity prices in the country – thanks to the growing share of wind and solar and the increase in rooftop solar PV which is reducing grid demand.
