Simply Energy are assholes at the best of times. They're the type of provider that will send you surprise bills long after you've closed your account with them.
Rather than depending on a supplier, become sovereign and eliminate the dependency altogether.
yep, that will show em for sure.
I did that already. I'm able to run my whole house with a 6Kw split phase low frequency inverter and 10Kwh batteries. Now I don't care what the utility does. I just ordered another 10Kwh so I have ample storage. Of course, I can't run my air conditioner or electric dryer without being connected to the grid, but that's a small sacrifice.
My setup is a lot more modest. I just installed a caravan solar kit on the roof of my house for about $150 with an old car battery and a few 12V sockets. I have a few 12V appliances (desk lamps, 5V USB outlets, USB-powered alarm clock/radio, etc.) which I now use alongside mains appliances whether the grid is up or not. Cost me almost nothing and now if the grid goes down I'll notice but I won't be in the dark.
