The grid fails on its own schedule, and your fence, cameras and lights go with it. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Dumping means unapproved export to the grid. - Ask how export is configured on your inverter. - Do you have a net-metering agreement? Quick answer The EPRA tariff amendment of 18 September 2026 defines unapproved grid injection as 'dumping' charged at the base tariff, and reports say no enforcement notices had been issued. Ask your installer whether your inverter can export, how export is limited, whether you have a signed net-metering agreement and your system size against the 4 kW single-phase and 10 kW three-phase limits. Keep your installation documents and correspondence.
