Flexible exports
Flexible exports are a smarter way to send your solar energy to the grid. It adjusts export limits in real time, so you can share more clean energy.
Get more from your solar with flexible exports
Flexible exports allow customers to export 10kW solar per phase, most of the time, without destabilising the grid or causing local reliability issues.
From November 2026, flexible exports will become the default connection option for eligible new and upgraded solar systems.
This means:
- All eligible customers will be able to export up to 10kW per phase most of the time
- Dynamic export limits will support greater rooftop solar penetration
- Solar retailers will offer flexible exports as part of the standard connection process
Flexible Exports
Flexible Exports will allow customers to export up to 10kW per phase, most of the time - allowing you to get more out of your solar system.
Eligibility and technical requirements
To take part in flexible exports you will need to:
You must have an active connection to the internet (Wi-Fi or cable)
You must have net export metering for your solar inverter
You need a solar system with a CSIP-AUS approved inverter listed on the CEC website
Fixed Exports
If you do not want to be part of the Flexible Exports plan, you can opt-in to the lower Fixed Exports plan. Fixed Exports has the same connection requirements including CSIP-AUS compatible inverter, and active internet connection. The Fixed Exports plan will allow you a maximum export of 1.5kW.
Launch of the NSW CER Installer Portal
The NSW CER Installer Portal will become mandatory for all new and upgraded CER systems. The portal ensures that new and upgraded rooftop solar systems are emergency backstop enabled and can communicate over the internet with network utility servers.
The NSW CER Installer Portal and emergency backstop mechanism will be introduced across NSW in stages, with the rollout based on postcode.
The first stage of the rollout within the Endeavour Energy network will commence on 2 November 2026 and includes the following postcodes in and around the Campbelltown, Camden, Picton and Liverpool regions :
2167, 2170, 2173, 2174, 2178, 2179, 2508, 2556, 2557, 2558, 2559, 2560, 2563, 2564, 2565, 2566, 2567, 2568, 2569, 2570, 2571, 2572 and 2573
The second stage of the rollout within the Endeavour Energy network will include the following postcodes:
2167, 2170, 2173, 2174, 2178, 2179, 2508, 2556, 2557, 2558, 2559, 2560, 2563, 2564, 2565, 2566, 2567, 2568, 2569, 2570, 2571, 2572, 2573, 2168, 2171, 2500, 2502, 2505, 2506, 2515, 2516, 2517, 2518, 2519, 2525, 2526, 2527, 2528, 2529, 2530, 2533, 2555, 2574, 2745, 2747, 2748, 2749, 2750, 2752, 2753, 2754, 2756, 2757, 2758, 2759, 2760, 2765, 2773, 2774, 2775, 2777, 2800, 2850
Understanding the emergency backstop mechanism
The NSW emergency backstop mechanism (EBM) is a safety measure that helps protect the electricity grid when there is more solar energy being exported to the grid than can be used. It is designed as a last resort and is expected to be used only rarely and for short periods of time. The above plans may receive lower limits that listed above in the event of EBM.
