ACCREDITATION OVERVIEW

For a small-scale solar and/or battery storage system to be eligible for STCs, it must be designed and installed by someone who is accredited by the Clean Energy Council.

This is to ensure that the small-scale renewable energy systems, for which the government issues STCs, are correctly designed and installed by designers and installers who have received proper training.

For more information about STC eligibility visit the Clean Energy Regulator’s website.

By becoming a Clean Energy Council accredited installer you will:

• be eligible for government incentives such as Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
• gain access to technical support and an online library of technical advice
• be kept up to date with important changes to industry standards and guidelines, the latest information on product testing and emerging issues from Clean Energy Regulator inspections
• have access to the dedicated CEC Learning Hub with a wide variety of online training toward Continuous Professional Development points
• have access to discounted, market leading insurance solutions via dedicated Clean Energy Council partnership with Howden

Please note: accreditation is only available to individuals. This differs from Clean Energy Council membership, which is available to businesses, and the Approved Solar Retailer program, which is only available to qualifying solar and storage retail businesses.
