Vector's new rules for solar exports - flexible exports now mandatory
https://vector.co.nz/our-services/connect-your-distributed-power-generation
The TL;DR version:
- From 11 May 2026, all new and updated applications require a CSIP-AUS compatible inverter if you want approval through the streamlined process.
- Maximum export with flexible limits is 10kW.
- You may opt out of flexible export limits, but you will have a fixed export limit of 2.5kW.
- You will also need a stable internet connection. If the inverter can't communicate with the server, it will default to a 2.5kW export limit.
- Applications received before 11 May 2026 will continue with the previous 5kW fixed limit.
