- Clean Energy Council maintains a list of compliant inverters. Ensure that the system you’re selling and installing are compliant with the latest Australian Standards, in particular the new AS4777.2:2020.
- SA Government's 'Smarter Homes' regulations, including:
- Relevant Agent Remote disconnection and reconnection requirements. Every new or upgraded exporting system from 28 September 2020 must have a Relevant Agent and be capable of being remotely disconnected by the Relevant agent. You can nominate a Relevant Agent at time of network connection using SmartApply and this must be configured and working correctly at time of installation. If the nomination changes, you can contact us to update it.
- Smart Meter wiring requirements. A meter installed at a connection point must be capable of separately measuring and controlling an electricity generating plant and controllable load from the essential load.
- From 1 July 2023, Dynamic Export Limits Requirement will apply. This means that most new and upgrade exporting solar generation systems need to be capable of remotely updating their export limits. Read what this means to you here.
