FAQS 4

How does a solar export limiter work?

An export limiter of, for example, 3.5kW on a 5kW inverter will not limit the output of the inverter to 3.5kW. It will (if properly configured) limit exports to the grid to 3.5kW. A solar export limiter uses a little sensor called a 'current transformer' to constantly monitor how much power is flowing out the to grid:

What is solar export limiting?

This increasing practice is called “export limiting”. Export limiting is determined by your local electricity network operator and involves using additional hardware to throttle the inverter output if certain solar export limits are reached, typically around 5kW.

What happens if a solar inverter is a limiting device?

Any solar energy that your system has produced on top of that, will be wasted by the inverter or the export limiting device, typically as heat. The latest state to introduce limiting is South Australia where a State-wide rule came into effect on December 1st 2017, limiting single phase solar systems to 5kW.

How does export limiting affect my solar system?

Export limiting severely impacts the data that you can see from your solar system, making it nearly impossible to know how your system is performing. Firstly, if your solar inverter provides monitoring, the inverter will only report what is produced (limited to 5kW), not what could have or should have been produced.
