Moving to a new rental but globird doesn't offer the free hours during the day.
They mention a smart meter is needed, how do I get one installed? Or is it just my area?
My partner and I WFH 2-3 days a week so we can shift a lot of our usage to that window.
Quick question: is there a 50 kW limit under zero hero these days for daily consumption? I know that there was some price changes on 1 July but I also read on a post here that existing customers are unaffected by the 50 kW limit. I have been a GloBird customer since October 2025. I can’t seem to see anything in my t&c’s on this point. Thanks
Morning all,
Was looking into Globird Zero Hero for my place in VIC and came across this in the T&C's:
*In some limited circumstances, battery charging may be temporarily reduced or paused due to market conditions. This does not affect free electricity used by household appliances during the applicable free period.
Has anyone actually experienced this? We rely heavily on the 3 free hours of power to charge our batteries to get us through the winter here in VIC, so if this happens regularly then I don't think it'll be worth it.
Obviously depends on your setup, but when my battery was originally installed, my hot water was still going via controlled load directly and not via the battery. Seems this is using 4-6kwh per day.
Recently had this moved to the battery and it should a large chunk off bill..
Joined Globird 31st July and got first bill today. Came in around $14 for 11 days. What I noticed on my bill was no feed in tarriffs despite Globird taking around 6kw per night from me between 6 and 9. Its says my battery is bound as well. Anyone else experienced this and what the issue might be. Also not happy with how much they are draining. Generally leaves me needing to pull a kW or two from grid in the wee hour when the hot water heats up. Got 16kw sigenergy battery by the way
I just got a 32kwh Goodwe battery system installed. My total system includes:
6.6kwh solar system, 10kw inverter and the storage above.
What settings do you use to maximise gains on GloBird ZEROHERO? Is there a way to set the GoodWe battery so that outside the 6:00–9:00 pm window, the system prioritises self consumption from solar first, then the battery? Any excess solar above the household's consumption would either be exported or used to charge the battery.
