Small Scale Generation

For inverter-connected installed capacity greater than Mini-Generation (17kVA Single Phase/50kVA Three Phase) and up to 200kVA or for synchronous installed capacity greater than micro-generation thresholds and up to 200kVA

Mini-Generation

For connections at LV, with an installed generation capacity between 25A (~6kVA) and 72A (~17kVA) for single-phase connections and between 16A (~11kVA) and 72A (~50kVA) for three-phase connections.

Micro-Generation

For connections at LV, rated up to and including 25A (~6kW) at low voltage [230 volts] for single-phase connections or 16A (~11kW) at low voltage [230/400 volt] for three-phase connections.
