Please label this kind of Diagram as a Northern Hemisphere solution and/or reorient the labels to reflect Southern Hemisphere directions.
No mention of ground source heat pump
Test
Batteries not included!
No mention of batteries for peak lopping or off-grid.
Switch to an EV. They can be charged at home (even off solar panels!!!) and are lot more pleasant to drive in urban traffic.
Sell the pool and fill in the hole, usually a no cost option. Most backyard pools never get used.
Buy low power appliances and smaller televisions. Garbage TV (most of it) is still garbage, regardless of the screen size.
Install LED lighting. Definitely purge halogen downlights.
When building, go for a passive solar design.
