Our installer network

How we choose the installers we match you with.

We don't list every NSW installer. We list the ones who've met our criteria and continue to meet them. Here's what that means in practice.

What every partner must meet.

All six. Not some of them.

CEC accreditation — current

Clean Energy Council Designer + Installer accreditation verified monthly. Lapsed licence = immediate suspension.

NSW DCCCEEW compliance

NSW regulatory requirements met. We cross-reference the public register quarterly.

Workmanship warranty ≥ 10 years

We only send leads to installers who put a 10-year roof-penetration warranty in writing on the quote.

Response time < 48 hours

We measure it. Partners who consistently miss the window are paused until they resolve capacity.

Quote includes all-in pricing

No hidden extras. STC discount applied upfront. We audit quotes for compliance.

Clean complaints record

We track complaints submitted through Photon Leads and via Fair Trading. Two unresolved complaints = review.

How the partner process works.

  1. Application

    Submit via the form below. We review CEC status, licence, insurance, and 6 months of customer references.

  2. Trial period

    First 10 leads are monitored closely — response time, quote quality, customer feedback.

  3. Ongoing monitoring

    Monthly licence check, quarterly audit, annual re-review. We'll let you know if anything needs attention before we act.

Apply to join the network.

We're selectively expanding the network into underserved NSW postcodes. If your CEC accreditation is current and you can service Sydney metro, the Hunter, the Illawarra, or the Central Coast, we want to hear from you.

Submit a partner inquiry

Typical review time: 5 business days. We'll ask for your CEC installer number, insurance certificate, and three customer references.

Partner FAQs

Because not every NSW installer meets the criteria above. That's the point.
Logged within 24 hours. Investigated within 5 business days. If substantiated, the partner is suspended pending remediation.
Yes, a fixed referral fee on completed installs. The fee is the same across all partners, so there's no incentive to push one over another.
