Past this point the battery is rarely the hard part of the job.

What this size does to the house

Network approval, three phases and fire separation.

At this scale the installation has more in common with a small commercial job than a domestic one. The certificate factor drops sharply here, which is the government signalling that this band is no longer the mainstream household case — and in practice most systems this size sit behind a business, a farm shed, a large property with a big daytime load, or a home with several cars charging. The constraints stop being about the battery and start being about everything around it: the distributor's approval and any export limit applied to the address, three-phase supply in most cases, fire separation and siting under AS/NZS 5139, and enough switchboard to isolate and protect it properly. Lead times on network approval matter here in a way they never do on a small residential install.

Who it suits

And who it doesn't.

It suits a site with a genuinely large and predictable daytime or evening load — a workshop, a hospitality fitout, a property running pumps or refrigeration, a household with several vehicles. It does not suit an ordinary suburban home hoping for independence from the grid: the capacity is rarely the binding constraint there, the connection agreement and the inverter capacity are, and a system this size can be approved down to something smaller than the brochure implies. If a retailer quotes this band for a normal house without having asked about the supply, that is worth a second opinion.

Approved ranges in this band

Ranges registered this large.

Far fewer lines reach this far, and the ones that do are usually the top of a modular range rather than a distinct product. Capped at 2 lines per brand so one modular range cannot fill the table — 68 lines shown, 20 more in the register. 13 of the 1444 registered sizes in this band have already lapsed and 8 lapse within six months, which is why the expiry column is there.

A product line is one family, andsizes is how many separate configurations of it are registered — modular systems are registered once per stack size, which is why some lines show dozens. Usable capacity is the figure the certificate tiers are calculated on, and it is always lower than the nominal capacity printed on the box.Listing expires is the date the Clean Energy Council approval lapses; after it, that configuration can no longer earn certificates. All of it is as published in the Clean Energy Council approved battery list, so you can look up any line yourself.
