[A new written statement from your designers](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/DocumentAssets/Pages/Sample-designer-and-installer-written-statement.aspx)  - [An updated written statement](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/DocumentAssets/Pages/Sample-designer-and-installer-written-statement.aspx) from your installer, and - [A new written statement from your solar retailer](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/DocumentAssets/Pages/Sample-solar-retailer-written-statement.aspx). ## CHANGES FOR solar retailers From 1 April 2022, there is a new requirement for solar retailers to provide their agent with a written statement including information on the installer and the system. [More information about these requirements](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/RET/Scheme-participants-and-industry/solar-retailers) can be found on the Clean Energy Regulator (the agency website), as well as a [sample form for retailers](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/RET/Forms-and-resources/forms-and-resources-for-solar-retailers) indicating the information that will need to be provided to their agent.    ## CHANGES FOR INSTALLERS AND DESIGNERS  From 1 April 2022, there are [new requirements for solar installers and designers](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/RET/Scheme-participants-and-industry/Agents-and-installers/Document-requirements-for-small-scale-system-installations), including the obligation to provide their agents with: - [A new written update for designers](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/DocumentAssets/Pages/Sample-designer-and-installer-written-statement.aspx), and  - [An updated installer written statement](http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/DocumentAssets/Pages/Sample-designer-and-installer-written-statement.aspx)   For more information or if you have any questions, please contact RFI's Customer Experience Team on 1300 000 734 or orders@rfi.com.au ![New obligations for solar installers and retailers from 1st April 2022](https://news.rfi.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20obligations%20for%20solar%20installers%20and%20retailers%20from%201st%20April%202022%20%20(1).png?width=1000&name=New%20obligations%20for%20solar%20installers%20and%20retailers%20from%201st%20April%202022%20%20(1).png)   #### SUPPORT - [**1300 000 734**](tel:%201300%20000%20734) - [enquiry@rfi.com.au](mailto:enquiry@rfi.com.au) #### MY ACCOUNT - [My Account](https://www.rfi.com.au/sca-dev-2020-1/my_account.ssp?fragment=overview&_ga=2.100923713.1913000088.1622433919-1321836579.1622433919) - [Sign In](https://www.rfi.com.au/sca-dev-2020-1/checkout.ssp?is=login&login=T&fragment=login-register&_ga=2.100923713.1913000088.1622433919-1321836579.1622433919) - [View Cart](https://www.rfi.com.au/cart) - [Register](https://www.rfi.com.au/sca-dev-2020-1/checkout.ssp?is=register&login=T&reset=T&newcust=T&fragment=login-register&_ga=2.100923713.1913000088.1622433919-1321836579.1622433919) #### INFORMATION - [Contact Us](https://www.rfi.com.au/contact) - [Policies](https://www.rfi.com.au/policies) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.rfi.com.au/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Sale](https://www.rfi.com.au/terms-and-conditions) - [Warranty Terms & Conditions](https://www.rfi.com.au/warranty-terms-and-conditions) - [Website Terms of Use](https://www.rfi.com.au/website-terms-of-use) #### FOLLOW US - [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rfitechnologysolutions) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/RFITechnologysolutions) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/rfiantennas) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8-6F32PpX8VjDJhNFKez_Q/featured) #### Newsletter Back to top ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "RFI Technology Solutions", "url" : "https://news.rfi.com.au/listing/author/rfi-technology-solutions" }, "dateModified" : "2022-03-31T22:13:48.029Z", "datePublished" : "2022-03-31T22:11:59.000Z", "headline" : "New obligations for solar installers and retailers from 1st April 2022", "image" : [ "https://news.rfi.com.au/hubfs/New%20obligations%20for%20solar%20installers%20and%20retailers%20from%201st%20April%202022%20%20(1).png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://news.rfi.com.au/listing/new-obligations-for-solar-installers-and-retailers-from-1st-april-2022", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://news.rfi.com.au/hubfs/rfi%20logo.svg" }, "name" : "RFI Technology Solutions" } } ```
