The Clean Energy Council updated the refund fees on 22 April 2025.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Application processing times and statistics for May 2025
We are currently experiencing a high volume of applications for inverter and battery product listings, which is impacting application processing times. The volume of applications for PV modules is currently moderate, with standard processing times.
In May, the time for applications to begin an engineering technical assessment was 12 weeks for batteries, 11 weeks for inverters and 3 weeks for PV modules. Full accreditation typically takes a further 2 to 6 months, depending on application completeness.
All applications undergo a thorough and rigorous review process to ensure the quality and safety of products. Manufacturers and importers are encouraged to ensure they submit complete and accurate applications and respond to clarifications quickly, as this helps reduce processing times. Detail on timelines will be updated on this page on a monthly basis.
