How about we start by making the whole thing less of a rort to prop up the power companies? I get 7c/kw for the 40-odd kw i make in the day and then pay 38c/kw to buy it back at night.

It's this exactly which is sending me to have a 25kw battery storage with a transfer switch to take myself off-grid when I have battery power available. Only when I have a full bank of battery power then will export. Makes no sense to not use the power solar generator owners make.
