Additional certificates for battery connected (solar PV) small generation units
(4) If:
(a) a small generation unit installed at a premises is a battery connected (solar PV) small generation unit; and
(b) the battery for the small generation unit is certified as complying with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the small generation unit is installed relating to safety and technical standards; and
(c) that certification is made on a day that is on or after 1 July 2025 (regardless of whether the small generation unit was installed, or the battery for the unit was installed or began to be installed, before that day); and
(d) this subregulation has not previously applied in relation to the small generation unit or any other small generation unit at the premises (whether in relation to that battery or any other battery);
then, for the purposes of subsection 23A(3) of the Act, an additional right to create certificates for the unit arises within 12 months of the day mentioned in paragraph (c) when the battery is certified.
Note 1: See regulation 3C for the definition of
battery connected (solar PV) small generation unit .Note 2: Additional certificates for a small generation unit that is a battery connected (solar PV) small generation unit cannot be created unless the conditions under regulation 20ACA are satisfied.
(5) To avoid doubt, a right to create certificates for a battery connected (solar PV) small generation unit as mentioned in subregulation (4) is in addition to, and does not limit, a right to create certificates for the small generation unit as mentioned in subregulation (2).
(6) To avoid doubt, subregulation (1) applies in relation to determining when a small generation unit that is a battery connected (solar PV) small generation unit is taken to be installed.
Example 1: A small generation unit that is a solar (photovoltaic) system without a battery is installed and begins to produce and deliver electricity on 5 May 2023. A battery is later installed for the small generation unit on 1 September 2025. The battery is certified for compliance on 5 September 2025. Both of the following apply:
(a) the small generation unit is taken to have been installed on 5 May 2023 and the right to create initial certificates for the unit arises within 12 months of that day;
(b) the right to create additional certificates for the small generation unit arises within 12 months of 5 September 2025.
Example 2: A small generation unit that is a solar (photovoltaic) system with a battery is installed and begins to produce and deliver electricity on 5 May 2026. The battery is certified for compliance on 10 May 2026. Both of the following apply:
(a) the small generation unit is taken to have been installed on 5 May 2026 and the right to create initial certificates for the unit arises within 12 months of that day;
(b) the right to create additional certificates for the small generation unit arises within 12 months of 10 May 2026.
(1) For subsection 23B(1) of the Act, the number of certificates that may be created for a small generation unit is the number that may be created:
(a) for a hydro‑electric system—for the amount calculated by multiplying 0.00095 by the rated power output of the system, measured in kW, multiplied by:
(i) 4 000; or
(ii) the number of hours each year of hydro resource availability if those hours are greater than 4 000.
(b) for a solar (photovoltaic) system—for the amount calculated by multiplying the zone rating of the system at the time of installation (worked out in accordance with an instrument made under subregulation (4) as existing from time to time) by the rated power output of the system measured in kilowatts‑peak (kWp); or
(c) for a wind turbine—for the amount calculated by multiplying 0.00095 by the rated power output of the system, measured in kW, multiplied by:
(i) 2 000; or
(ii) the number of hours each year of wind resource availability if those hours are greater than 2 000.
Note:
Small generation unit is defined in subregulation 3(2). For certificates in relation to installations other than small generation units, see Divisions 2 and 3 of Part 2 of the Act.(2) For subregulation (1), the number of certificates worked out for an installation is:
(a) if the amount of electricity generated that is in excess of the 1997 renewable energy baseline for the small generation unit is at least 0.5 MWh but less than 1 MWh—1; and
(b) in any other case—the number calculated under subregulations (2A) and (2B).
(2A) If a small generation unit has a rated power output of more than 1.5kW (
output power ), and is not a unit to which subregulation (2C) or (2E) applies, the number of certificates created for the unit is to be calculated as follows:
(a) by first adding together:
(i) the number of certificates created for the first 1.5 kW of the unit’s output power (as multiplied in accordance with regulation 20AA); and
(ii) the number of certificates created for the remainder of the unit’s output power; and
(b) then by rounding down the number of certificates arrived at under paragraph (a) to the nearest whole number.
(2B) If the small generation unit has a rated power output of 1.5kW or less, and is not a unit to which subregulation (2E) applies, the number of certificates created for the unit is to be calculated as follows:
(a) by first multiplying the number of certificates in accordance with regulation 20AA; and
(b) then by rounding down the number of certificates arrived at under paragraph (a) to the nearest whole number.
(2C) This subregulation applies to a small generation unit if:
(a) the unit:
(i) has a rated power output of more than 20 kW (
output power ); and(ii) is an off‑grid small generation unit; and
(iii) was installed after 28 June 2010 and before 1 July 2013; and
(b) at the time the certificates are created, the number of multiplier certificates created for off‑grid small generation units installed in the period in which the unit is installed does not equal or exceed the maximum number mentioned in subregulation (2G) for the period; and
(c) the creation of certificates for the unit will not cause the number of multiplier certificates created for off‑grid small generation units installed in the period in which the unit was installed to exceed the maximum number mentioned in subregulation (2G) for the period.
(2D) The number of certificates created for a unit to which subregulation (2C) applies is to be worked out:
(a) by adding together:
(i) the number of certificates created for the first 20 kW of the unit’s output power (as multiplied in accordance with regulation 20AA); and
(ii) the number of certificates created for the remainder of the unit’s output power; and
(b) by rounding down the number of certificates worked out under paragraph (a) to the nearest whole number.
(2E) This subregulation applies to a small generation unit if:
(a) the unit:
(i) has a rated power output of 20 kW or less; and
(ii) is an off‑grid small generation unit; and
(iii) was installed after 28 June 2010 and before 1 July 2013; and
(b) at the time the certificates are created, the number of multiplier certificates created for off‑grid small generation units installed in the period in which the unit is installed does not equal or exceed the maximum number mentioned in subregulation (2G) for the period; and
(c) the creation of certificates for the unit will not cause the number of multiplier certificates created for off‑grid small generation units installed in the period in which the unit is installed to exceed the maximum number mentioned in subregulation (2G) for the period.
(2F) The number of certificates created for a unit to which subregulation (2E) applies is to be worked out:
(a) by multiplying the number of certificates in accordance with regulation 20AA; and
(b) by rounding down the number of certificates worked out under paragraph (a) to the nearest whole number.
(2G) For paragraphs (2C)(b) and (2E)(b), the maximum number of multiplier certificates that may be created for off‑grid small generation units installed in a period is the number mentioned in the following table for the period.
1 | 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011 | 250 000 |
2 | 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012 | 250 000 |
3 | 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013 | 200 000 |
(2H) If subregulation (2C) or (2E) does not apply to a small generation unit only because paragraph (2C)(c) or (2E)(c) does not apply to the unit, the number of certificates that may be created for the unit is the sum of:
(a) the number that may be created for the unit under paragraph (2A) or (2B); and
(b) the number of certificates that would cause the number of multiplier certificates created for off‑grid small generation units installed in the period in which the unit was installed to equal the maximum number mentioned in subregulation (2G) for the period.
(2I) For paragraphs (2C)(b) and (c) and (2E)(b) and (c), a certificate that the Regulator determines is not eligible for registration is not to be included in the number of multiplier certificates created for the period for off‑grid small generation units installed in the period.
(2J) For this regulation:
multiplier certificates , for off‑grid small generation units installed in a period mentioned in the table in subregulation (2G), means the certificates created for units using the multiplier in subregulation 20AA(2), other than the certificates that would have been created were the multiplier applied only to the first 1.5 kW of the rated power output for those units.
(3) For subparagraph (1)(a)(ii), hydro resource availability of more than 4 000 hours each year must be demonstrated by a site‑specific assessment.
(4) The Regulator may, by legislative instrument, prescribe zone ratings of solar (photovoltaic) systems, and zones, for the purposes of paragraph (1)(b).
(5) For paragraph (1)(c)(ii), wind resource availability of more than 2 000 hours each year must be demonstrated by a site‑specific wind audit.
Additional certificates for battery connected (solar PV) small generation units
(6) If a small generation unit is a battery connected (solar PV) small generation unit, then, for the purposes of subsection 23B(1) of the Act, in addition to the number of certificates that have been, or may be, created for the unit under subregulation (1), the number of certificates that may be created in relation to the unit includes the amount calculated under subregulation (7).
Note 1: See regulation 3C for the definition of
battery connected (solar PV) small generation unit .Note 2: Additional certificates for a small generation unit that is a battery connected (solar PV) small generation unit cannot be created unless the conditions under regulation 20ACA are satisfied.
(7) The amount is calculated by multiplying the useable capacity of the battery for the unit, up to a maximum of 50kWh, by the factor specified in the following table for the year in which the battery is certified for compliance (as mentioned in paragraph 19D(4)(b)), rounding down to the nearest whole number.
Note: See subregulation 3(1) for the definition of
useable capacity .
