The use of solar products on the approved products list is one of the many important issues <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">solar buyers need to be aware of<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the Clean Energy Council website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solaraccreditation.com.au\/products\/modules.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;PV modules installed in Australia must be CEC listed as compliant with AS\/NZS 5033 &#8216;Installation and safety requirements for photovoltaic (PV) arrays&#8217;, regardless of whether a rebate is sought.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Amerisolar branded panels have been used in Australian installations for some time, with at least one major installer having incorporated the modules in their systems at one point.<\/p>\n<p>While the solar panels and company have very US-centric names, much of its production capacity doesn&#8217;t appear to be in America. A profile of the firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/AndyWang57\/amerisolar-company-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted on LinkedIn<\/a> by a company representative shows in 2016, 600MW of its production capacity was in China, 160MW in Taiwan, 140MW in Vietnam and 120MW in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of publishing, a number of the panels showcased on the <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/gNXWgX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Amerisolar site<\/a> were still noted as being &#8220;CEC Australia listed&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA Co., Ltd describes itself as a &#8220;worldwide leader in solar technology&#8221; with 25 years experience in production and quality control.<\/p>\n<p>The Clean Energy Council has only recently started openly communicating instances of modules being delisted and Amerisolar panels are the second to have been struck from the list since the announcements began.
