Configure CSIP Australia Feature
For systems with the CSIP / Backstop application, configure the CSIP Australia feature.
Overview
Common Smart Inverter Profile - Australia (CSIP-Aus) is a standard that enables solar and battery inverters to communicate with DNSPs, and allows DNSPs to dynamically adjust export limits based on real-time network conditions. This replaces static export limits, optimizing grid capacity while enabling customers to export more energy when the grid can handle it.
The CSIP-Aus feature is available beginning with the following software versions:
