Export limits are changing in more networks

Export limits are changing in more networks

More distributors are moving to flexible export limits, which cap how much surplus solar a household can push back into the grid at any moment rather than across a billing period. For most homes the cap is generous, but it does change how a system should be designed.

The practical effect is that sizing purely for maximum export no longer pays. A system that covers your daytime load and charges a battery, with modest export, tends to perform better under flexible limits than a larger array constantly being clipped at the inverter.

We check the export rules for your specific distributor before quoting and design accordingly. If your network allows flexible exports, we configure the inverter to manage them automatically, so you never lose output you could have used on site.
