Solar partnerships & accreditations

The body responsible for regulating the solar industry is the Clean Energy Council (CEC). The industry has had poor sales and installation practices in the past. Therefore, the CEC created a certification program to help recognise companies that practice ethical sales and high-quality installations.

SolarWide is an approved solar retailer as appointed by the Clean Energy Council. This appointment says we are committed to fair sales practices, ethical marketing, and best-in-class installation practices.

The CEC says: “The program strives to raise standards higher than the government’s or regulations’ minimum criteria, resulting in a higher standard in service in the solar and storage industries.”

All solar retailers who have been approved by the program have committed to following a Code of Conduct.

All in all, customers who buy from an Approved Solar Retailer have the assurance that their solar and battery systems are being purchased from a company that meets or exceeds all applicable consumer protection regulations.

SMA Australia  have introduced the PowerUP program that gives quality focused solar energy dealers the opportunity to benefit from a closer  collaboration with SMA, the German leader in solar inverter manufacturing.

As part of this appointment SolarWide can access special offers and exclusive product training. The limited number of PowerUP partners have been selected by SMA specifically for their long term industry experience and their commitment to a quality customer outcomes.

SolarWide are very proud of this partnership, as we have been installing SMA inverters since 2011, and found them to cope very well with our local environmental conditions.

“The SMA PowerUP team are excited to announce SolarWide as a Powerup partner across commercial and residential segments,” said Ben Bishop, regional business development manager at SMA Australia. Our partners have recognised that partnering with a global powerhouse like SMA represents value, stability and an opportunity to set their business apart in an increasingly aggressive solar landscape. SMA have a proud history built on reliability, quality and innovation dating back to 1981. The PowerUP initiative continues this tradition and provides a significant recognition to our selected partners.” he concluded.
