AusNet Services
AusNet distributes across Victoria's east and north-east. It keeps its own approved inverter list and its own smart inverter settings, so equipment cleared on a neighbouring Victorian network is not automatically cleared here.
What they assess
- Portal-based application
- Applications are started and managed in AusNet's own portal rather than a Victoria-wide one.
- Banded by size
- Separate pathways apply by system size, and identifying the band decides which guidance applies.
Where it snags
The approved inverter list is AusNet's own. An inverter accepted by another Victorian distributor still needs checking against this one before it is ordered. AusNet — make and manage a solar application
Some applications trigger a manual assessment that carries a cost, so an unusual site is not only slower but priced differently. AusNet — make and manage a solar application

Confirm the distributor from the bill, NMI record or connection approval before relying on this page. Embedded networks, remote grids and private networks may use a different authority. The connection offer and the site-specific approval override anything general, here or on the distributor’s own site. Reviewed 2026-08-08.
