PV and battery standards map
Source-map fields for Australian PV, inverter and battery calculator records.
PV and battery standards to confirm before design work
Map PV and battery source areas without reproducing standards or replacing product, DNSP or authority review.
| Source area | Record | Applies to | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PV array installation context | Source and edition context for PV array design notes. | PV string voltage and module records | Use authorised current documents for requirements. |
| Inverter grid connection context | AS/NZS 4777 and DNSP connection source details. | Inverter AC cable and export/load records | DNSP conditions and product instructions remain controlling. |
| Battery system context | Battery-system source, product and installation context. | Battery cable and protection records | Battery product and BMS requirements must be reviewed. |
| General electrical installation context | Wiring Rules or project source context where relevant. | Cable, protection and switchboard records | This table does not reproduce controlled requirements. |
| Product and authority documents | Datasheets, manuals, connection responses and project notes. | All energy-system records | Current documents override generic worksheet context. |
- Use this map to keep the governing source clear.
- It is not a substitute for current standards, DNSP conditions, product instructions or licensed review.
Where the standards map supports solar review
Use the map to identify the standards context that needs checking before project-specific design, installation or verification decisions.

|---|---|
| Purpose | Map PV and battery source areas without reproducing standards or replacing product, DNSP or authority review. |
| How to use the source | Source-map table only; PV and battery formulas live on calculator and chart pages. |
| Standards and project context | AS/NZS 5033, AS/NZS 4777, AS/NZS 5139 and AS/NZS 3000 context noted for project review; verify current editions. |
| Where judgement is still needed | Use this table for lookup, labelling or worksheet context; do not treat it as a project-specific calculation result. |
| Before relying on it | Confirm current standards, local authority requirements, DNSP conditions, project documents and manufacturer data before relying on a decision. |
Authority basis for PV and battery standards
Review the cited source, checked date and project scope before using the standards map as decision context.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | Standards Australia PV, inverter and battery-system standards context plus AUWiring calculator field models. |
| Source type | External authority or standards source |
| Derivation basis | Source-map table for standards context; controlled standard text, product listings and authority conditions are not reproduced. |
| Last checked | 2026-07-13 |
| Review interval | Annual or when PV, inverter, battery standards, DNSP requirements or calculator fields change. |
| Review trigger | Standards update, DNSP requirement change, product rule change, calculator field change or project feedback. |
| Version used | R32-2026-07-13 |
| Australian application | Australia; standards, DNSP, product listing, local authority and project requirements govern final decisions. |
