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.

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.
