19. Important information for Certain Australian homeowners

Under the new standards issued by the Department of Energy and Mining, Government of South Australia (“Technical Regulator”), generating systems connecting to the South Australian distribution network must be capable of being remotely disconnected and reconnected by an agent registered with the Technical Regulator (such agent being a “Relevant Agent”, and such new standards being the “Remote Connectivity Standards”). Under the Remote Connectivity Standards, if you are: (i) located in an area; and (ii) own and operate a PV System to which the Remote Connectivity Standards apply, you must appoint a Relevant Agent to manage the requirements under the Remote Connectivity Standards. By using SolarJuice Products as part of your system, and to the extent that the Remote Connectivity standards apply, you: (a) agree to appoint SolarJuice Australia as your Relevant Agent. (b) comply with your obligations as an owner or operator of an electricity generating plant, under the Remote Connectivity Standards. (c) acknowledge that the plant must be capable of being remotely disconnected from, and reconnected to, the relevant distribution network by a relevant agent. (d) acknowledge I am responsible for appointing a relevant agent who may remotely disconnect and reconnect the solar generation plant from the distribution network. (e) authorize SolarJuice Australia (acting as your Relevant Agent) to remotely disconnect and reconnect the solar generation plant from the distribution network using SolarJuice’s capability in circumstances where you are lawfully directed to disconnect or reconnect the plant, by the Technical Regulator. (f) authorize SolarJuice Australia (acting as your Relevant Agent) to dynamically change your export limit. (g) acknowledge that, if you cease to be the owner/operator of the PV System, you must advise SolarJuice Australia as soon as practicable and in any case no later than seven (7) days after I cease to be the owner/operator of the PV System. (h) acknowledge that you may withdraw this authorization by providing written notice to us, in which case you will be responsible for authorizing another Relevant Agent. (i) acknowledge and agree that SolarJuice Australia may share any data with regulatory authorities, including the Technical Regulator, to the extent necessary to comply with the Technical Regulator’s instruction for such data.
