Getting your solar system up and running
To ensure connection, we require an approved “Basic Connection Form” that you will receive from your electrical contractor or installer.
Please follow the 3-step process below:
1. The electrical contractor submits a “Basic Connection Form” to Power and Water
Before your new Solar PV system gets installed, your registered electrical contractor (electrician or solar installer) must submit a Basic Connection Form with Power and Water.
Power and Water will review the application and advise your electrical contractor once the form has been accepted.
An accepted Basic Connection form means that your contractor has been given permission to connect your solar PV system to the network.
2. The electrical contractor provides you with a copy of the accepted Basic Connection Form
Your electrical contractor will now send you a copy of the accepted Basic Connection Form. This form contains all the information we need to get you connected to Jacana Energy.
Make sure they tell you if you need a un upgraded or reprogrammed meter.
3. Contact Jacana Energy to get connected
To get your solar PV system connected, have your accepted Basic Connection Form handy and contact us online or by calling 1800 522 262 and our customer experience team will look after you.

We offer a feed-in tariff (FiT) for extra electricity sent back to the grid from your rooftop solar system. FiTs are applied as a credit to save you money on your bill. Our FiTs apply to residential customers and businesses:
- with a solar PV system less than 30kVA; and
- consuming less than 750 megawatt hours per year.
View the solar feed-in tariffs webpage for more information.
You can choose to install a battery with your rooftop solar. The battery will charge from any extra solar you produce, so you can use it when solar production is low.
For more information on the benefits of a home battery, visit energy.gov.au/solar.
When you receive a feed-in tariff from us, you are agreeing to our power purchase agreement.
