BrightGridConnecting solar or battery equipment to the electricity network involves technical requirements designed to protect the grid. The applicable process depends on the size and characteristics of the installation.
What is G98?
G98 relates to certain smaller generation installations that meet the applicable technical criteria. The exact requirements should be confirmed for the proposed equipment and connection.
What is G99?
G99 is associated with larger or more complex generation connections and involves a more detailed assessment process.
What is G100?
G100 relates to export limitation arrangements where generation or storage output to the grid needs to be controlled.
Why do export limits matter?
A property may have more generation capacity than the network can accept for unrestricted export. An export-limiting system can sometimes allow additional generation while controlling the amount sent to the grid.
Grid requirements should be considered early
For larger solar, battery and commercial systems, grid connection requirements can influence equipment selection, project timelines and financial returns.
Plan your grid connection
Discuss solar, battery and commercial generation requirements before finalising your system design.

What is G98 solar?
G98 relates to certain smaller generation installations that meet specified technical requirements.
What is G99 solar?
G99 applies to larger or more complex generation connections and normally involves a more detailed connection process.
What is G100?
G100 relates to export limitation arrangements that control electricity exported to the grid.
Does every solar system need G99?
No. The applicable process depends on the size, equipment and technical characteristics of the proposed installation.
