Future changes to the Grid connection, Lithium battery technology and safety, gateway devices and the new grid, CPD points, drinks and snacks – all in just 2.5hrs
Stay ahead of new compliances in the Grid-connect field.
Hear about what to expect and how to be prepared for the changes in 2026. The Emergency Backstop Mechanism will become mandatory in NSW from mid-2026, along with the new CER Installer Portal. The portal will be used to register, test and submit compliance documentation for new and upgraded solar systems. In this workshop Essential Energy will show you how to gain the knowledge and ability to use the portal as soon as it becomes available.
This session will give you the key updates, knowledge and resources you need to get ready for changes coming in mid-2026, helping you transition smoothly.
A technical deep dive into lithium battery technologies and safety considerations. Hear about maintenance protocols, fire safety and emergency response. Get an insight in system design considerations and hear about future trends and innovations.
What to expect, what to avoid, and what the future will probably look like.
This presentation is intended for solar installers interested in implementing gateway devices. The presentation will share practical insights and lessons learned from working across all DNSP areas with CSIP-Aus and Emergency Backstop requirements nationwide. There is a wide variety of requirements and approaches in different states. For example, Western Australia’s battery VPP plan focuses on integrating distributed storage, while Victoria’s Emergency Backstop emphasises rapid response capabilities. These variations require tailored approaches for each region, and understanding these differences is key to successful implementation.
