Installing solar in NSW? There’s an important industry update you should know about.
From November 2026 new requirements are being progressively introduced across NSW for new and upgraded solar systems.
The changes include smart inverter technology, updated registration processes and the introduction of an Emergency Backstop Mechanism.
What does this mean for homeowners?
The new technology allows electricity networks to temporarily manage solar exports during rare situations where excess generation could affect grid stability.
Already have solar? Existing systems that aren’t being upgraded generally won’t need to make changes.
For anyone planning a new installation or upgrade choosing an experienced installer who understands the latest requirements is more important than ever.
At DGM Electrical Group we design solar and battery solutions around your property, energy needs and applicable industry standards.
