We have completed the next instalment of the expansion of the SwitchDin Integration Lab at our Newcastle headquarters, tripling our capacity to integrate and test inverters and battery systems for partners.
Read MoreEstablishing control of inverters and other solar inverters will be crucial in maximising the benefits of solar for everyone; many of Australia’s DNSPs are investigating ways to make control a win-win proposition as an alternative to some of the blunt tools currently available – system size & blanket export limits. But the technical challenge is not to be underestimated.
Read MoreWe’re excited to be playing a role in WA’s energy transition, working closely with Horizon Power on trailblazing projects like the Smart Sun Pilot and the Onslow DER Projects, both of which paint a picture of what’s in store for the rest of the state.
Read MoreWhile improving visibility over DER is a logical approach towards better managing systems as they come online, we need to acknowledge the role that other technologies will play in stabilising the grid as the demand for energy independence continues to grow. These other technologies range from home batteries, to community batteries, and virtual power plants (VPPs) to dynamic solar export control and demand response; all of these tools are already being deployed across Australia, although not yet in a coordinated or comprehensive way.
