What Documents Are Required for a Solar ATAP Application?
A Solar ATAP application requires documents that confirm the legal applicant, registered electricity account, proposed solar PV system, electrical design, structural installation arrangement and applicable grid-connection approval. The exact checklist depends on whether the applicant is an individual, company, organisation, government entity, domestic consumer, non-domestic consumer or existing solar participant.
