Estimates only, including GST, checked September 2026. STC figures use postcode 2233, 2026 deeming and an assumed $38 per certificate — the discount you receive depends on the certificate market on your installation date. Savings are modelled on typical usage and tariffs and are not a guarantee.
Grid connection
What you can export in Engadine
Your distribution network — not your retailer — decides how much solar your Engadine home may send back to the grid. These are its published approvals, and the third one catches people out on the bush edge of this postcode.
10kW per phase
Flexible export connection: a complying system up to 30kW is automatically approved to export up to 10kW per phase.
3kW
Fixed export connection: a complying system is automatically approved to export 3kW per system.
1.5kW
No reliable internet at the property: a static 1.5kW export limit applies until a connection is available.
From 30 November 2026: the NSW Emergency Backstop Mechanism
Your network is phasing this in by postcode from 30 November 2026, with full implementation by 22 February 2027. New and upgrading systems up to 200kW must use equipment compliant with the CSIP-AUS standard, and the installer runs a short capability test at installation to confirm the system can reach the network's server. Systems already installed are not affected. We build every new system to meet it.
Network rules change and every connection is approved on its own merits — we confirm the limit that applies to your address in writing before install day.
Batteries
Adding a battery in Engadine
Home batteries attract two separate incentives. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program takes an estimated $3,402 off a 13.5 kWh battery, and NSW’s PDRS battery incentive + VPP bonus can add more on top. Already have solar? We check your inverter first — some systems take a battery as they are, others need a hybrid inverter.

Planning an EV?
Size your solar for it now. Our 10kW package comes pre-wired for a battery and an EV charger, so adding one later is a small job rather than a rebuild.
From quote to switch-on
How an Engadine install works
- Step 1
Free assessment
We review your roof, shading, switchboard and a recent power bill. On a 1960s or 70s home the switchboard is the thing we look at hardest — ceramic fuses and no safety switch mean an upgrade before anything goes on the roof.
- Step 2
Written quote
A quote with the panel layout, inverter and every extra itemised — including the switchboard, if yours needs it, rather than leaving it as a surprise.
- Step 3
Network approval
We lodge your grid-connection application and confirm your export limit before install day.
- Step 4
Installation
CEC-accredited electricians install, test and commission the system, then clean up. Isolation points are placed where they can actually be reached in an emergency.
- Step 5
Switch-on
Your retailer updates the meter and we set up monitoring so you can see every kWh.
