Seven home battery models from one of the up and coming new budget brands on the Australian market are facing suspension from taking part in the federal rebate, after falling short on a number of key compliance measures.
The Clean Energy Council (CEC) on Tuesday announced that it intends to suspend seven models from China-based home battery brand Neovolt, due to non-compliance with the CEC’s terms and conditions.
The suspension, which kicks in on September 15 if the non-compliance issues are not rectified by then, means the seven battery models (listed below) will no longer be eligible for the Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) that underpin the Cheaper Home Batteries scheme.
The CEC says the suspension decision is not in any way connected to a product recall or any identified product safety issue, but “given the quantity of existing stock in Australia … [could] have a serious impact for some businesses and consumers should the suspension proceed.”
“This action shows that established regulatory systems have worked effectively to ensure only eligible products are installed under the scheme,” the CEC says.
