Solar Accreditation: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how electricians can obtain industry-recognized accreditation for solar PV installations in Australia.
Solar Accreditation is a formal process that provides industry-recognized accreditation for the installation of solar PV systems.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for electricians who install solar PV systems. It is intended for professionals in the electrical trade who perform solar installations and need to meet industry standards.
What you get
Through this process, you receive industry-recognized accreditation for solar installations. This accreditation is a way to demonstrate your professional standing in the solar sector and is often referred to as CEC accreditation or a solar license.
What it costs you
To maintain this status, you will face two main requirements. First, there is an annual membership fee that must be paid. Second, you are required to complete mandatory CPD points, which stands for continuing professional development, to keep your accreditation active.
The catch to know
The most important requirement to track is the maintenance of your professional development. You must successfully complete your mandatory CPD points on an annual basis. If you do not meet these requirements, you will lose your accreditation status.
How to apply
- Confirm you are an electrician working with solar PV systems.
- Prepare to meet the mandatory CPD point requirements.
- Arrange for the payment of the annual membership fee.
- Follow the official application process to receive your accreditation.
