Would point out reports are they don't limit your export, but disable your generation, so you start buying from the grid.
Right when grid wholesale energy costs are significantly negative. Not sure I'm seeing the down side.
And it's a whole lot better than the alternative which is having the grid go down, which in that case you are SOL because you then have no power supply at all.
Again, you'll be able to have a lot more solar for the 99+% of the time, and on a few occasions the solar grid management needs to curtail production to rebalance the grid, PV output will be restricted.
Welcome to the future of grids with high penetration of renewable solar PV. Over capacity and strategic curtailment are a sensible strategy. Negative pricing is here.
Let's look at WA over the past seven days. Down under we are approaching Winter, and are well past the Autumn equinox. Even so there are times when rooftop solar PV alone is supplying more than 50% of the state's entire grid demand:
Now fast forward to late Spring when the sun shines like there's no tomorrow and there is bugger all demand because weather conditions are mild. Perth is a super sunny place.
If the grid needs to curtail some rooftop solar PV output so it can keep operating and it means we can have a LOT more solar for the rest of the year, fine by me.
Note also the wholesale prices at the time there is an abundance of solar PV - prices are negative. Who wants to sell into a negative price market? It's also means it's a cheap time of day to buy energy. Daytime pricing will drop accordingly.
It's even more pronounced in South Australia:
Rooftop solar PV alone hit 68% of total demand at one point during this (mid-Autumn) week, the state had export to a neighbouring state to offload capacity and the price was significantly negative.
These are just two are examples from mid-Autumn. Now imagine the price of energy when the solar PV climbs to 100% of total demand at times in late Spring, and early and late Summer/early Autumn.
It would hardly be a bad time to be buying energy, and in SA you can put yourself on a wholesale cost pass through plan (like with Amber Energy or Powershop) and you'll actually get paid to consume. Turning off your solar PV system at such times would be a blessing. Indeed there are people here already doing just that, turning off their solar PV system, quickly turning on their EV chargers to full, putting the pool heater on, electric ovens, you name it.
