Solar Victoria delivers the Victorian Government’s flagship Solar Homes program, which provides rebates and interest-free loans for residential solar.
To receive Solar Victoria's solar panel rebate of $1,400.00 and/or an interest-free loan for the same amount, customers are required to choose a retailer with a New Energy Tech Approved Seller status.
The NETCC “New Energy Tech Consumer Code” has been through a rigorous public consultation process and has received authorisation from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The program aims to give customers the confidence to purchase new energy tech by ensuring they are well protected and dealing with providers committed to transparent, quality service.
To become a New Energy Tech Approved Seller, a retailer must demonstrate it meets the NETCC standards. For example, a retailer must demonstrate it produces fair, detailed quotes and uses T&Cs which reflect the service standards and refund provisions of the NETCC.
The NETCC’s standards cover everything from sales and marketing practices to after-sale service, providing consumer protection standards throughout the customer journey.
K.A.W Electrical & Solar are proud to be a New Energy Tech Approved Seller.
How to find an NETCC approved seller
Get to know your Installers - Key Questions to ask & check
Getting to know your Installers is a great way to stay in the loop with your install. The person who installs your system must hold an unrestricted Class A Electrical Licence registered with Energy Safe Victoria and be accredited under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme with Solar Accreditation Australia.
Systems with batteries require an installer to hold an additional grid-connected battery accreditation, or stand-alone accreditation.
The Clean Energy Council (CEC) managed the accreditation program for over 16 years. On the 29th of February 2024, a new accrediting body was appointed called the Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA).
Don't be afraid to ask the A- grade electrician on the job for their electrical licence and SAA number.
