The questions came months after a report from the Cyber Security Co-operative Research Centre warned internet-connected devices, including solar inverters, could introduce security vulnerabilities if not correctly regulated.
The questions came after the report by the Cyber Security Co-operative Research Centre in August last year identified potential issues with internet-of-things devices, “notably photovoltaic inverters”. The report recommended the development of guidelines to assess and manage cybersecurity risks “as a matter of priority”.
Rule of thumb: In Australia, PV array capacity is commonly allowed up to 133% of inverter AC rating for STC eligibility (check current CER guidance). Oversizing helps the inverter run near its sweet‑spot more often. Example: A 5 kW inverter with up to ~ 6.6 kW of panels is standard.
The upcoming inverter installation rules represent a major shift in the regulatory landscape for distributed energy systems in Australia. With a focus on safety, flexibility, and grid stability, the new guidelines encourage responsible growth of solar and battery technology.
