Trying to minimise merch can be a challenge.<\/p><\/div>\n

What’s known in the industry as Solar Christmas is over for another year. At each of these events we seem to have an underlying theme. It was batteries last year, and nondescript white 5kW boxes the year before.<\/p>\n

So what was big this year? Stackable all-in-one solutions.<\/em>
\n<\/p>\n

Hosted at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, otherwise known as Jeff’s Shed, All Energy keeps getting bigger, which means I spent the whole first day stalking the aisles. Unlike events prior, the entire main hall was fillled with energy, so we didn’t have to share the space with the Waste Expo, the rubbish trucks were in another hall altogether.<\/p>\n

Best quote of the day: “If they really want to encourage Australian Made, they could start with lowering the price of display space here. In square metre terms I can buy and own<\/em> factory real estate for less than we pay to hire space here for two days,” – Rod Scott, CEO Selectronic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Considering the eye-watering expense, you’d think the organisers would have a slick, mobile friendly app to help you navigate the place, but you’d be wrong. They print books and the online version is just the 380 page, advert filled proof, sent to the printers. Fine if you’re carrying a desktop display & mouse.<\/p>\n

The punters don’t want to carry books, they literally take photos of the wall chart with their mobile.<\/p>\n

\"all

Compare the screenshot of the utterly useless online map, when even the 2.4 metre high wall chart needs decent sized numbers.<\/p><\/div>\n

What I Found Interesting<\/h2>\n

There was an entire section dedicated to electric mobility and EV charging, this took up even more floor space than previously occupied by the waste expo.<\/p>\n

There were all manner of products from electrical infrastructure, payment organisers, DC chargers, AC chargers, bi-directional chargers and more.<\/p>\n

Tap ‘n Go<\/h3>\n

Finally someone has developed tap & go payment for EV charging and demonstrated it worked. Not tied to any particular hardware, Nayax<\/a> showed the process of plugging in, tapping the card and counting three, two, one… click!\u00a0<\/em> All they’ll have to do is educate the end user to tap their card a second time to stop charging.<\/p>\n

Canyon Cable Management<\/h3>\n

I might write a whole article on the 4 different solar carports, but the clear winner was a local solution for EV charging leads. Using an inclined rail and linear bearing, Canyon<\/a> are keeping the cables off the ground.<\/p>\n

To be frank I think the biggest problem they’ll have is dissuading the drunks from thinking it’s a fun park ride.<\/p>\n

\"solar

This looked really well thought out<\/p><\/div>\n

BiDi Is The Next Big Thing<\/h2>\n

With what I’ll call interesting brand marketing, UUgreenpower had some bi-directional car chargers on the wall with AS4777 approved stickers on them. It’ll be interesting to see how they go with network approvals and how many years the CEC will take to list them.<\/p>\n

\"UUGreenPower

Lighting on these tradeshow stands makes getting a decent photograph impossible<\/p><\/div>\n

Speaking of interesting branding, the people at eCactus have worked out they’re the butt of a few jokes in the Australian vernacular, so they have a new brand name. The external appearance is still that of pretty cheap gear.<\/p>\n

\"e-cactus

Mate; that branding you’ve got is cactus.<\/p><\/div>\n

Delta Are Tapping Out<\/h2>\n

The rep I spoke to said Delta are sadly no longer offering solar inverters, though they still honour the warranties on units returned to them.<\/p>\n

They are focussing more on EV charging now with the likes of a 50kW DC fast charger in a pole mount configuration. Plus they have their 5th generation of domestic 7\/22kW EVSE which is apparently “bi-directional ready” like many others are also claiming.<\/p>\n

\"delta

50kW DC car charger. Cable management here relies on a spring loaded retractor, much like some petrol stations<\/p><\/div>\n

We may need to start a public awareness campaign on this terminology, because something that’s dealing with AC as bi-directional is relying on the inverter\/charger in the car<\/em> to do the work. An EVSE on the wall is little more than a glorified extension cord so promising bi-directional is akin to having a “battery ready” solar inverter. ie any inverter is battery ready if you have an AC coupled battery.<\/p>\n

\"delta

There’s an RFID function on this unit so you can tap it with a card or maybe a phone to activate it.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mitsubishi Fuso eCanter Appeared<\/h2>\n

Without a word of explanation<\/a> there was a nice new delivery truck cab-chassis sitting on the floor. How these aren’t already a thing is beyond me.<\/p>\n

\"Fuso

Nothing new to see here because it’s just a simple little truck.<\/p><\/div>\n

Diesel is a huge percentage of delivery costs and converting a truck chassis to electric doesn’t involve designing a new vehicle at all. If fact this system looks like it would be ideal for repowering old trucks. With standardised chassis rail spacing, the important parts of this EV will just bolt across.<\/p>\n

\"mitsuibishi

Using the same leaf spring chassis, this truck has a DeDion axle and drive shafts from a central transaxle motor unit.<\/p><\/div>\n

A Tonne Of Hot Water<\/h2>\n

More than a few heat pumps showed up but this 1000 litre monster from Reclaim\u00a0<\/a>was impressive, showing that heat pumps are mature enough to take on the commercial market for large scale hot water systems with ring mains.<\/p>\n

\"1000

The scale of this thing was impressive.<\/p><\/div>\n

We were also seeing more manufacturers taking a holistic home energy management system view. Personally I don’t think you could pay me to use Midea, but it’s good know they’re saving energy and getting on with making things simple for the end user with any luck.<\/p>\n

\"midea

Heat pump hot water, air conditioner, solar, battery, inverter & EVSE all in one ecosystem.<\/p><\/div>\n

Other notable product launches included GoodeWe’s new ESA all-in-one home battery systems<\/a>, Aiko’s claim of a world-first 500 W panel under 2m\u00b2<\/a>, and TrinaSolar’s new generation of Vertex S+ high-power solar panels.<\/a><\/p>\n

There was also plenty on the agenda with presentations and seminars, as over 500 speakers tackled a range of issues, including the fallout from the battery rebate boom.<\/a><\/p>\n
