Solar connection

Solar connection generating installations must comply with all statutory requirements and standards. ActewAGL must approve the installation of the inverter and protection equipment prior to installation. The customer then needs to make provisions for metering equipment suitable for the purpose of the installation. All wiring must meet the requirements of the ACT Planning and Land Authority.

The method of connection will depend on the metering arrangements. There are certain steps of protection that are required. Testing must be completed before final approval, which needs to be provided to ActewAGL. The customer must install clear and indelible labelling on all relevant parts of the installation.
