What is a Virtual Power Plant?

A virtual power plant (VPP) remotely combines a network of independent energy resources (like solar batteries) into a network that can provide a stable supply of power. By connecting a network of home solar batteries, virtual power plants have the resources to quickly feed power back into the grid whenever it is needed, supply homes with power & reduce dependence on fossil fuels.  This network is called a virtual “power plant” because it can be coordinated and managed like a traditional power plant. RK Solar is in partnership with Discover Energy to give our customers the power to take control of their solar energy.

How Does a Virtual Power Plant Work?

STEP 1

RK Solar installs a high-quality solar inverter & battery storage system for your home.

STEP 2

We register your solar battery for the Discover Energy Virtual Power Plant

STEP 3

Your solar inverter is connected to a specialised software that will monitor the energy demands from the electricity grid. The software will enable your system to sell excess solar energy production back into the grid at the optimum time. This way you can get a much higher selling price for your solar energy as compared to your purchasing price from your energy retailer.

STEP 4

Use the Discover Energy mobile app to track solar energy exports and earnings.

The whole RK Solar Team (Including Kunal, Karan, the Install Team, the Service Team and Admin Support) all worked together professionally to replace my faulty 1.5kW string solar system with a three phase system incorporating Enphase Microinverters with Trina Solar panels. This is the second time I've used their services and it is good to work with a local provider that has been around for over ten years. I look forward to many years of trouble free operation and it's good to know I can call on them for support and advice if required.

The owner-Mr Kunal,The finance manager-Hector,The installation manager -Karan and the two teams of bright young lads all were very pleasant . The quote was very reasonably priced by the CEO. The Installation manager was perfect in getting two installation team so that it could be done in one day.The boys were polite and smart and took all the rubbish,screws ,nails,etc with them. The job was done in a very safe manner.All the team members knew how to walk on tiles and never broker one tile. On my previous installation i had 12 tiles broken for 23 panels with 2 workmen. On this installation i had 12 installation men ,33 panels and none of them broke tiles. System was installed and commissioned by their electrician. Perfect installation with a very diligent and smart team. Thanks

Shopped around extensively and found the price for RK was the best by more than $500. They seem to be a well run company. Little things like ensuring a conversation you have with the sales guy passes to the on the ground install team. I am very happy to recommend RK Solar.

We did a lot of research and obtained several quotes before deciding on RK Solar. It's still early days as the system was only installed last week. But... so far we are very happy with our choice of RK Solar, the options Clyde presented, and the system we went with (which is going great and producing much more energy than we are consuming). The installation team was professional and courteous, and made sure to clean up before they left. Based on our experience to date, very willing to recommend RK Solar.

I have had a great experience with this company installing a second solar system. I rang to ask for some advise on what we needed to improve our existing system as we had installed a larger battery system but not getting the results we expected. In no time at all I received a call from Clyde. He was amazing from the time of our first contact to the day of installation. He help us understand what we needed and why. Over this time nothing was a problem. Clyde's people skills were great, didn't make you feel uneasy at asking even the simplest of questions. Clyde definitely put us in the right direction. The installation team were a very friendly group. Very polite. They explained everything they were doing and check to sure we were happy with this. Answered all my questions. Definitely recommend RK Solar to everyone. Especially Clyde and his team. Keep up the great work 👍 Treena

My experience with RK solar has been great. The consultant (Clyde) was helpful, honest and patient helping me choose the right product, sending many proposals for me to check and compare, with realistic data. The operations team led by Karan were on time, polite and professional. Ashish and the team installed my solar and communicated well during installation. They cleaned after they left and patiently answered my questions. There was a small issue after the installation for which Ashish and the team fixed the day after I emailed them. He went on the roof on a rainy day to double check each panel is functioning and patiently addressed my comments. I highly recommend them.

Aren’t solar panels enough to bring me savings?

The short answer is no. Unfortunately, having solar panels alone isn’t good enough to eliminate your energy bills. These are the main reasons why:

 

Low Feed-In-Tariffs

Over the years, the feed-in-tariff rates offered by energy retailers have significantly dropped. Before this, solar panel owners could sell excess solar energy back to the retailers for a reasonable price and make some savings on their bills. However recent rates offered by the retailers meant that customers are buying energy at a higher rate than their selling price. It does not make sense to be depending on feed-in-tariffs to make a saving.

Higher Bills From Night Time Energy Usage

Solar panels are an excellent investment. However, to get a good amount of savings in your bills, your house needs to be using more energy during the daytime as compared to night. However, most households have a higher electricity usage in the evenings when the whole family is back from work or school. Nighttime energy usage requires you to import electricity from the grid and pay retail electricity prices. Depending on the level of household activity, you could be paying up to thousands of dollars a year in energy bills just for using energy during peak periods.

Proposed tariffs for exporting solar energy

Australia has one of the highest solar uptakes in the world, with around 30% of homes fitted with solar technology. This massive shift to solar energy has helped millions of households generate clean renewable energy and help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. However, when a large number of households generate and sell their excess energy back into the grid at the same time, a huge strain is put on the electricity grid. To overcome this, the government has proposed to impose tariffs on those exporting solar into the grid during peak periods.
