What Are Distributor Inverter Limits?


 

When considering installing solar panels for your home or company, you may come across the term ‘distributor inverter limits.’ Because of these constraints, you may even be advised that you cannot have the size system you desire. It’s understandable for someone new to solar to be sceptical of these constraints. Why limit the generation of clean renewable energy you can place in your home? What is causing this? Certainly, it is better for the environment to install the largest solar system possible.

What are Distributor Inverter Limits?

A distributor is a company that owns and operates the poles and wires that supply power to your home. These distributors are correctly referred to as ‘Distribution Network Service Providers.’ Because DNSPs are localized monopolies, no matter where you live in Australia, there will only be one DNSP for your location.

DNSPs limit the amount of surplus solar electricity that consumers can export to the grid. These limits differ depending on the distributor, with some being more generous than others. Furthermore, depending on the capacity of the grid infrastructure near you, more strict export limits may be imposed on your property. Before you install solar panels or a battery, your DNSP must approve the connection of your proposed system to the grid. This pre-approval process is usually handled on your behalf by your Solar installer.

Most network distributors will allow the requested system size as long as it falls within their pre-set boundaries. These limits are determined by whether your property has a single-phase or three-phase electrical supply. The network distributor may occasionally respond with an export limit on the quantity of solar you can send to the grid. While you will still be able to install solar, you will not be able to export all of your excess solar to the grid. In the worst-case scenario, you won’t be able to export anything.
