Energex Solar Rules in Broadbeach Waters
For residents in Broadbeach Waters (4218), the local Distribution Network Service Provider (DNSP) is Energex. They manage the poles and wires in South East Queensland.
Export Limit: Energex generally imposes a 5kW export limit per phase for residential solar systems. This means even if you have a larger system (e.g., 6.6kW or 10kW), you can only send a maximum of 5kW of excess power back to the grid at any one instant.
To maximize your savings, it's best to shift your energy usage (pool pumps, washing machines, AC) to the middle of the day when your solar production is highest ("self-consumption").
