\"Australian<\/p>\n

Australia’s Clean Energy Council (CEC) has signalled it wishes to continue in its role of keeper of the “single source of truth” on approved solar products.<\/p>\n

For a solar power system to be eligible for Australia’s solar rebate<\/a>, it must use CEC-approved solar panels and inverters. The Clean Energy Council has published and maintained lists of Australian Standards-compliant approved modules<\/a>, inverters<\/a> ( and more recently, batteries<\/a>) for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

But as a consequence of recommendations from the Integrity Review of the Rooftop Solar PV Sector<\/a> and subsequent consultation, Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER) announced yesterday it will soon open an application process that will open the door to potentially another body maintaining the lists.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the consultation, the Regulator states<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Strong arguments were made for both options; proceeding with an application process to nominate a body or to simply leave the ‘status quo’ with the Clean Energy Council (CEC) remaining as the listing body.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There Can Be Only One<\/h2>\n

In an email sent out yesterday, the Clean Energy Council says it is committed to continue undertaking this role and will be participating in the application process.<\/p>\n
