The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has announced an update to the requirements for PV installations conducted by multiple installers, something that wasn’t previously permitted.

At a minimum, Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installers must be at the site during job setup, mid-installation and commissioning. Agents and installers are required to provide concurrent evidence of the installer’s presence on-site through all the relevant phases of the installation as detailed in CEC install and supervise guideline 6.1.3.

Selfie-style photographs are the typical evidence the agency expects to show compliance with this requirement. The CER will use this evidence when assessing the eligibility of an application for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs).

“When it is not reasonable for a CEC accredited installer to complete the whole installation and the system will be registered as a Small Generation Unit for STCs,” the rules state.
