The CEC notes many of Risen Energy&#8217;s monocrystalline and double glass modules are not being delisted.<\/p>\n<p>Far more serious non-conformance has been reported by the CEC through its testing program relating to solar panels from Axitec Energy GmbH &amp; Co KG, all of which will be delisted tomorrow.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Specifically, the modules were manufactured before the date of the certificate provided to the CEC, the power rating was below the minimum power rating in the specification, customer documentation supplied was misleading, the warranty failed to declare the customer rights under Australian Consumer Law and parallel TUV certificates were identified,&#8221; states the CEC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Axitec refers to itself as a &#8220;high quality German solar brand&#8221; and its global headquarters is listed as being in Germany. According to a couple of module datasheets that contain country of origin information,\u00a0Axitec Energy solar panels are manufactured in China.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Recent Solar Panel Delistings<\/h2>\n<p>Since it began publicly announcing delisting of solar panels in May, the CEC has named three other brands with panels struck from the Approved Products list &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-panel-delisting-cec-mb0039\/\">Simax<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/amerisolar-panels-delisting-mb0079\/\">Amerisolar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-panel-delisting-cec-mb0039\/\">TPL Energy<\/a>. In the case of Simax, the delisting period was quite brief as Simax fully cooperated with the CEC and took all the corrective actions necessary. TPL Energy modules are also again displaying on the list.<\/p>\n<h2>Protecting Australians, Building Confidence<\/h2>\n<p>The CEC has been continually refining its conditions for solar panels to be included on the Approved Products list. On August 10, new terms and conditions came into effect and from September 1, all crystalline PV module listing applications must demonstrate compliance with new versions of the IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 standards.<\/p>\n<p>Potential solar buyers should <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/WGveDE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check the list<\/a> to ensure panels (and inverters) they&#8217;ve been quoted on are included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8212;&#8212; Update 30th August: Please see Risen&#8217;s official response in the comments.
