Maximising Returns with Ergon Energy
With in-depth knowledge of the energy market and Ergon’s grid, RJ Warren’s team leverages every opportunity for efficient energy use and financial savings. They stay up-to-date with Ergon’s training and participate in industry upskilling to help you get the most out of your solar system.
Don’t believe what southerners tell you!
It might not be the case down south, but in the local Gladstone region it’s definitely possible to get good money back from Ergon if things are designed correctly.
A lot of the media reporting and things you may have heard relate to the national energy market, not the local conditions. Another advantage of working with a local company!
Real-time Monitoring
Every solar installation includes technology and apps for real-time system monitoring, so you can track your energy usage and efficiency.
Ergon Affiliation
RJ Warren collaborates with Ergon to ensure optimal export back to the grid or to battery systems. This includes connections through:
- Basic Agreements (5kW systems)
- Negotiated and Dynamic Agreements (10kW systems)
Future-proofing Your System
RJ Warren’s team provides detailed documentation for every installation, setting up your system for easy upgrades and continued performance.
This is important as the energy transition to 2050 is predicted to add significant demand to electricity usage:
To increase by a factor of 30
Batteries, virtual power plants, pumped hydro
To increase 5-fold
To Increase
While current mid-merit plants will all retire within that period
To increase 9-fold
To nearly double
To be withdrawn

Dynamic Connections: A Smarter Way to Harness Solar Power
Queensland is a sun-soaked state, and more and more people are choosing solar power to lighten their energy bills and help the environment. With so much solar energy being
generated, we need a smarter way to manage it.
What are Dynamic Connections?
Dynamic Connections are a new way to connect your solar system to the grid. Instead of a fixed limit on how much solar power you can export, Dynamic Connections allow your
system to adjust its output based on the needs of the network.
- Monitor: Ergon monitors the capacity of the local electricity network.
- Calculate: Ergon will calculate how much of your excess solar power can be exported.
- Signal: Your solar inverter receives a signal via Wi-Fi or a hard-wired internet connection.
- Maximise Export: Your system then adjusts its output to maximise the amount of solar power you can export, while ensuring the network remains stable.
- More Export Potential: You can export up to 10kW per phase, compared to 5kW with a basic connection.
- Minimal Export Limits: Even during periods of high network demand, you can still export at least 1.5kW.
- Larger System Size: You can install a larger solar and battery system without needing to upgrade to three-phase power.
Let’s harness the power of the sun together!
