In South Australia, how much solar you can send to the grid used to be a fixed limit. Flexible Exports changes that.
The short version
- Fixed limit: 1.5 kW, all day, every day.
- Flexible Exports: up to 10 kW per phase when the grid has room.
- On the few busy times the grid is full, your exports are dialled back for a while.
Why it matters
With a fixed 1.5 kW limit, a lot of the solar you make at midday is simply wasted. Flexible Exports lets more of it reach the grid, so a larger system earns more.
What you need
- An inverter that supports Flexible Exports.
- An internet connection for the inverter.
- An installer who sets it up and registers it.
Every inverter we install is ready for Flexible Exports, and we handle the setup.
Does it change my feed-in tariff?
No. Your retailer still sets what you are paid per kWh. Flexible Exports only changes how much you are allowed to send.
