FROM GOODHEW ELECTRICAL AND SOLAR

As we usher in a new year, many locals are looking for ways to cut costs and reduce their environmental impact. At Goodhew Electrical & Solar, we’re proud to help households achieve both by harnessing the power of solar energy and the latest in battery storage technology. Now, through solutions like Amber for Batteries, our customers are taking control of their energy bills like never before.

Wholesale energy pricing and power trading are revolutionising the way households interact with the energy market. Instead of being tied to fixed retail rates, households with battery storage can take advantage of fluctuating wholesale prices, charging their batteries during off-peak times and selling excess power back to the grid during peak demand. It’s a game-changer, and one of our Thornlands customers is living proof. 

Since switching to wholesale energy pricing in October, our customer – equipped with a state-of-the-art Sungrow hybrid solar system has seen considerable return on investment. Last month alone, they earned $465 by trading energy on the wholesale market. Factoring in the elimination of the $300 monthly bill, they slashed over $765 from their monthly energy costs. Overall, the customer has averaged a feed-in tariff of 66.7c/kWh through summer. This result underscores the potential of combining solar, battery storage, and wholesale energy pricing to maximise financial and environmental benefits. 

When paired with a high-quality solar system, batteries can store excess energy generated during the day, which can then be used during peak times or sold back to the grid when prices are at their highest. For example, through the Amber platform, customers gain real-time insights into energy prices, enabling smarter decisions about when to buy, store, or sell power. 

This New Year, why not follow their lead? By partnering with Goodhew Electrical & Solar, you can install a custom-designed solar and battery system tailored to your energy needs. Our award-winning team brings years of expertise, ensuring you’ll enjoy reliable, efficient, and future-ready energy solutions.
