This page is for you if you are an Installer, Solar Retailer or Registered Electrical Contractor (REC) and you are designing a system that is over 30kW and up to 1.5 MW. Installations of this size require a detailed technical assessment.
These are typically commercial or industrial systems that may require changes to the network to accommodate them. All of these systems will require Central Protection (refer to SOP 11-16).
The total administration fee for these projects is $2000.00 (excl. GST) for systems up to 200kW and $3000.00 (excl. GST) for systems greater than 200kW and up to 1.5MW. There may be additional fees if changes to the grid are required e.g. upgrading a transformer.
With large installations like this you will be responsible for undertaking specialised commissioning tests (SOP 33-07 & SOP 33-08) to demonstrate compliance with our requirements.
