Export limits (consumer guide)

Export limits exist to protect local networks. In some areas you start with a static cap (e.g., low kW), while others allow dynamic limits that change with conditions. Batteries help by absorbing surplus and shifting it to higher-value hours.

Practical takeaways

• Don't oversize PV only to clip all day. Pair it with a right-sized battery.
• Check approved export in your connection offer.
• If flexible limits are available, set your system to use them.
