Solar panel and inverter product listing body application round

The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has released information on the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) solar panel and inverter product listing body application round.

We encourage potential applicants to read the application round information on our website including the downloadable guidance document and application form. The application form and guidance documents contain information on:

  • how to complete the application form
  • questions about the application process
  • requesting an extension
  • receipt of application
  • withdrawing an application
  • amending a submitted application
  • successful applicant notification.

This information can be used to start preparing an application.

We will open the application round at the end of June 2023. Applicants will have 3 months to submit their application. At the end of the process, we will nominate one product listing body to publish and maintain a list of approved solar panels and inverters eligible for use in the SRES.

The Clean Energy Council (CEC) will continue to publish approved solar panel and inverter product lists while these processes are undertaken.

The CER will work with state and territory regulators, the Australian Energy Market Operator and Distributed Network Service Providers who use and rely on the approved solar panel and inverter product lists to ensure they are aware of and are prepared for the upcoming changes.
