Given the large number of retailers and VPP offers out there today, I'm looking for the best retailer to "maximise earnings" from solar and battery usage.
I'm in NSW on the Endeavour network. I am on Origin Energy's solar boost plan now but until 1 March this year I was on a great plan with constant 10c FiT. I have three phases and have 27kw of panels in total facing all directions but most often generate around 20kw at summer peak. I often fed in 150kwh per day which was great for earnings with no export limit on Endeavour with phase. The Origin plan i was on only charged about 87c daily supply fee and had 37c flat usage tariff. I loved it.
No more though, now they don't offer the plan any more and I've been moved to the "next best" plan which is circa 2 dollars a day supply with 3c FIT and a marketing headline 8c FIT (for the first 4 kWh or some such which has almost no impact).
I have a 40kwh sigenergy battery that I use to power the home from over nights / cloudy days.
So I joined Amber which are (or were?) one of the better VPP brands out there.
Is there a specific way to help recover the cost of my solar setup quicker than with the standard smart shift settings? I have tried force exporting on a few occasions when the FIT is 10c but this sounds dumb given the system should do this automatically (but doesn't seem to?).
Any help or suggestions much appreciated. Even if it means moving to Flow or something else.
