Know the Difference

Online Tool

This is for systems up to 10kW total inverter capacity per phase and 5kW (3.5kW for SWER) total export limit per phase. The maximum size for this tool is 30kW total inverter capacity and 15kW export limit across 3 phases.

Manual Assessment

This is typically for systems greater than 30kW capacity and 15kW export or smaller systems that cannot be assessed automatically. These require detailed technical assessment by an engineer to ensure they are safe to connect.

We size all systems based on the total combined inverter rating(s) i.e. both solar & battery inverters, not panel ratings.
