Solar & Clean Energy

At Galkam Solar, we aim to support Australia's clean energy transition. Some new plans are in place - we'll update you soon.

Solving Australias Solar Over-Supply Issue

Galkams has presented AEMO, the organisation responsible for managing our Electricity grid here in Australia, with a proposal that could solve the PV Solar over supply and grid stability issues caused by unpredictable PV Generation. This will open the door for much greater contribution from our Rooftop solar infrastructure! This document: A Proposed PV Export Control System for RoofTop Solar demonstrates a mechanism that allows every small PV and Batttery energy system to take advice from the grid operator about how to help eliminate solar over-supply. Using "Swarming" technology, the rooftop solar and battery systems will converge on a safe, reliable and consistent Energy target making the contribution from these distributed rooftop solar and battery systems predicatable. This will eliminate market volatility - rapidly swinging solar prices - reducing need for expensive emergency measures while making solar supply more predictable and reliable at the same time, helping to stabilise the system. This approach restores value to your solar exports. This means we all pay less, have a much more resiliant and reliable grid will give us a reasonable price for solar exports rather than the current system where solar exports are essentially worthless

We have also supplied a companion document A Resiliant Broadcast Mechanism for the Proposed PV Export Signal. We go one step further and actually propose the delivery mechanism for the broadcast signal. This approach is a secure and robust solution that can be easily implemented by the Market operator and easily supported by solar manufacturers. Most PV systems already do everything that is required, so there should be no reason why this proposal couldn't be up and running in months and fully operational in just a few years. No major infrastructure projects required!
