The Federal Government has moved to reassure consumers that they will be protected when having renewable energy systems installed in the wake of the questionable practices seen during the recent Insulation scheme disaster.
Installations for all PV systems must now comply with a regulation regime which will include compliance with state and territory regulations and building codes. Whilst Clean Energy Council (CEC) accreditation is already a requirement for solar panel installers, the new regulations will give the public a greater sense of comfort that their PV systems are going to be installed properly.
The amended regulations for REC agents and creators come in to effect on June 21, and have effect for solar PV systems installed after August 20th.
Whilst the new regulations will potentially slow the creation of RECs during the period, as the checks being applied to installations will be more onerous on the agents at ORER, as a certificate of compliance and Installation Report will be required, along with a statement from the owner that all local state and territory approvals have been met, ORER is to be applauded for providing a 2 month interim compliance window for installers to adjust to the new regime.

Howdy, just a short note to drop in and express thanks for the remarks in this article. I ended up on your site just after searching exercise related things on Google… guess I lost track of what I was initially doing! Nonetheless, thanks again and I will try to swing in in the future and read some of your future remarks. Cheers!
