01What changes in Perth
Energy Policy WA says that from 1 May 2026 new and upgraded solar and battery systems in the South West Interconnected System must support modern grid requirements. Its consumer guidance explains that ongoing communications can support flexible exports, while systems without that connectivity receive a standard 1.5 kW export limit. WA also publishes a Residential Battery Scheme with current eligibility and participation details.
Perth ads therefore need date-checked language about exports, connectivity, batteries and any scheme support. The campaign map should reflect whether crews truly cover Joondalup, Wanneroo, Armadale and Rockingham rather than treating the metropolitan area as one interchangeable audience.
