In response to "does Australia have Govt subsidies? or is it all at home owner expense? we'll certainly get there eventually but they have to update the rates here" by Beaker

The biggest issue with solar production right now is that it's at the "wrong" time of day for needs

Pumped storage would mitigate a lot if that. Use excess power to pump water up a hill into a reservoir, let it out through a turbine when you need power. Definitely has some efficiency loss but lets you use it as a base grid.
