That's a shame , old mate.
I don't profess to know everything. I am here to learn and happy to be corrected when I'm wrong.
However, I don't stand for baseless shock jock statements that people refuse to back up. They bring no value to debate.
I note you still haven't responded to my comments about the battery industry. I am very surprised that you are not more across these things given that is the future of your very livelyhood.
It's a shame because as you are " in the industry ", you could be a positive source of information for the forum as to what's actually happening on the ground.
Domestic battery uptake is really taking off, replicating the boom of domestic solar several years ago. My friend that works for a very large solar installer reckons it is about one in three of all new solar installations at the moment.

Just as solar installations were limited years ago because local infrastructure couldn't deal with it, I expect we will see a similar action again.
Except that this time it will be different. Previously power suppliers were trying to limit the competition from solar. Now I believe they will be embracing local generation and storage. A complete backflip.
As you pointed out, it might be batteries on power poles or other forms of community batteries to soak up that summer excess. These batteries will offer the reverse function in winter for peak periods by being charged overnight or during the day from the grid and then giving back to the local premises during peaks.
It's going to change how the grid works quite significantly.
