Thinking about solar or already got a system installed? ☀️
If you’re planning to connect your solar, battery, or even future EV setup back into the grid, this is worth a read 👇

One really interesting change is the move from a 5kW export limit up to 10kW per phase. That’s a big step forward.
What that means in real terms:
You can export more of your excess solar instead of it being capped
Larger systems actually make more sense now
Better return on investment, especially for homes with high daytime generation
More flexibility when adding batteries or EV charging into the mix
It’s good to see pushing this forward — it’s a solid move towards supporting more solar and decentralised energy across the network.
Hopefully we’ll start seeing similar changes from our local lines company, as this is exactly the kind of shift that helps future-proof homes and businesses moving toward energy independence.
At Sunbound Solar, we handle the full process — from system design right through to network applications and approvals — so you don’t have to deal with the red tape.
