Mount Sheridan solar questions

Is there a limit on how much solar I can export in Mount Sheridan?

Single-phase export limits in Mount Sheridan are set by Ergon Energy and are typically around 5 kW, but they vary by area and connection type and can change. Your installer confirms the exact limit for your address as part of the grid connection application.

Is the estimate a quote?

No. It is an indicative estimate from your postcode and power bill, and it leaves out purchase and installation costs. A real price needs an installer to check your roof and switchboard.
