I think this might be the earliest that the Positronic team has topped the leaderboard.
Enphase, Longi, Fronius, Sigenergy and Aiko also made it to the top 15.
Thank you to all our customers.

Baby Snakes
Replaced a 14 year old LiFePo battery in one of our Positronic battery boxes yesterday and this little bloke came out to say hello.
Gave him a stick to crawl onto but he disappeared behind the mounting plate for the day...
We built the boxes hermetic enough to keep geckos out but the customer had punched various holes through the cabinet and fan grilles to put a Starlink in the box.
Bogged up all the holes and told the customer how much the cabinet will stink in a couple of weeks. Customer thought leaving the door open for a couple of day might be a good idea.
Fair enough.

It looks like we're going to get a bit of weather in the next couple of days.
This video we made in 2011 is worth a watch if your string inverter is in a flood zone.
Make sure you read the 'About' notes as well.
If you have an Enphase system, you don't have a DC voltage problem so this video doesn't apply.
If your switchboards are likely to get flooded, turn off the main switch as you wade out the gate.
Your inverter will switch itself off if the grid goes down so if you're not getting flooded you don't need to do anything with your solar. It will turn itself back on when the grid comes back.
If you have an Enphase or Sigenstore battery, lucky you.
If you don't have a Sigenstore battery and you'd like one, drop us a line - [email protected]
Good luck.
See you when the mud dries.

This was filmed during the 2011 Brisbane floods. You can hear it coming down by the bucketload in the background. By following this pretty simple procedure y...

There's a bit of a pile on at the moment regarding Energex's Peaksmart. 4BC asked me for a contribution: https://www.4bc.com.au/podcast/full-show-4bc-drive-with-shane-doherty-december-30th-2024/
I've not been keen on batteries, having lived off grid for 20 years and knowing how problematic they can be. However with the prospect of grid failures due to weather, coal fired power stations coming to end of life and increased loads, batteries are starting to make sense.
They still won't save you money but they will keep your power on if the grid fails.
We've been installing Sigenergy batteries recently - they look excellent.

42 is good.
I'm looking forward to the team cracking 50MWh/day this summer.
