“Australians have an absolute love affair with rooftop solar,” he said. ​“We have the highest rooftop PV penetration in the world, and it’s one of the driving forces of our energy transition.”

I wonder how this trend will continue now that Feed In tariffs have been significantly cut. Seems like more and more people are focused on installation of home batteries.

My parents installed a new PV system and it's been limited to 1.5kW peak export, or about 1/10th the systems total output. Seems a shame to have so much energy going to waste. Hard limits seem like a blunt instrument to ensure grid stability, when a more intelligent system / community battery could have utilized this energy.

Might be a little heavy handed for your needs but I've found paperless-ngx to be amazing.

I think you'd be surprised, the on ramp I would say is easier than FreeCAD.

I did something similar recently, old house, wanted floor plans for renovation / idea generation.

Initially I started with FreeCAD and used the BIM functionaly, worked well, but a few bugs at time.

I've done a few smaller scale models of some rooms recently in [Bonsai](https://bonsaibim.org/(formerly BlenderBIM), and found the process a little more pleasent. This could be due to my previous blender experience and the hotkeys being more on my bones.
