📌 BESS5 is a standalone Work Type and cannot be combined with other Work Types.

📌 Business Classification: Select the category from the dropdown that best matches the customer's primary business activity.

Make sure the information entered in GreenDeal is consistent with the actual project details and Supporting Documents.

The BESS5 Installation Address must be located in NSW.

Start typing the address and GreenDeal will automatically suggest matching addresses.

Review the information and update it where required based on the actual project.

📌 The Site Attributes displayed may vary depending on the project. Complete the fields shown in GreenDeal based on the actual installation.

GreenDeal will automatically display the NMI(s) associated with the Installation Address.

If multiple NMIs are found, select the correct NMI for the project, then complete the remaining System Information.

⚠️ Follow any on-screen validation messages before continuing.

BESS5 supports two methods for entering equipment information.

GreenDeal will automatically populate or calculate the relevant Output / Capacity information based on the selected equipment and quantity.

If the equipment is not available in the GreenDeal equipment Library, click Request a device and enter the required equipment details manually.

📌 Make sure all manually entered equipment information matches the actual equipment being installed and the relevant Supporting Documents.

⚠️ If you cannot select an Installer, check whether the required credentials, documents and PRC Eligibility requirements have been completed and remain valid.
