The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has launched compliance action in response to the alleged misuse of accredited installer details in the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).
“We have recently taken compliance action against Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installer, Mr Sandeep Chikhale,” the CER said in a statement.
“In this instance, Mr Chikhale submitted false information to a registered agent where he stated he was either the CEC accredited installer or supervised the installation of various solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, which was untrue.

“The registered agents relied on this false information to create small-scale technology certificates (STCs).”
The CER says it has accepted an enforceable undertaking offered by Mr Chikhale of SSC Electrical Services Pty Ltd to address the non-compliance. The enforceable undertaking commits Mr Chikhale and SSC Electrical Services Pty Ltd to the inspection and, if necessary, rectification of a number of solar PV system installations.
