Solar and Battery Standards

These are the Solar PV and Battery Systems Standards.

The Solar PV and Battery Systems set is a necessary tool for all electricians working on site.

Designers and installers of solar and energy storage systems navigate a complex range of compliance in today’s market.

The Solar PV and Battery Systems set governs the minimum requirements for solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage system installations across Australia.

These standards are essential for a business that specialises in the installation of solar systems.

Available in the Solar PV and Battery Systems set.

AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 Grid connection of energy systems via inverters, Part 1: Installation requirements
Current
Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 specifies safety and installation requirements for inverter energy systems (IES) intended for the injection of electric power through an electrical installation to the grid. IES are distributed energy resources when connecting to the grid and need to ensure overall safe operation of the installation and interaction with the broader grid
AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules)
Current
Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
AS NZS 3000 2018 (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules) specifies requirements for the design, construction and verification of electrical installations, including the selection and installation of electrical equipment forming part of such electrical installations; part 1 provides provisions that constitute the minimum regulatory requirements for a safe electrical installation; part 2 provides work methods and installation practices that are ‘deemed to comply’ with the requirements of Part 1.
AS/NZS 4777.1:2016 Grid connection of energy systems via inverters, Part 1: Installation requirements
