What does the Solar Bonus Schemes 10 kilowatt capacity limit for renewable energy generators mean?
Only customers with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or wind turbines (up to 10 kilowatts in capacity) that connect to the electricity network through an inverter (up to 10 kilowatts in capacity) will be eligible for the Solar Bonus Scheme. Systems may have more than one inverter, provided their combined capacity is not greater than 10 kW. This capacity limit applies regardless of how many phases of power supply a customer has. For instance, even if a customer has three phase power supply the capacity of their solar panels or wind turbine can be no greater than 10 kilowatts (kW) and the inverter via which they supply electricity to the grid can be no greater than 10 kW in capacity. The Government is very concerned to get the balance right for the Solar Bonus Scheme so that consumers are not burdened with excessive costs. This keeps costs down for all energy customers. The NSW Feed-in Tariff Taskforce examined issues around system size and eligible customers. In considering the issue of s
