Summary
Property owners occasionally discover that solar generation systems were not properly registered or connected to the electrical grid upon initial installation, resulting in missed feed-in tariff credits. Attempting retroactive grid connection after subsequently adding battery storage can create administrative hurdles and coordination delays with original installers. Property investors should verify that all solar generation assets have complete grid-connection documentation and active export metering to ensure full financial returns on renewable energy investments.
Key Points
Why it matters: Reminds property owners to verify that rooftop solar installations are formally connected to the grid so that surplus energy generation qualifies for feed-in credits rather than being wasted.
