Audit of solar and heat pump water heater products in accordance with the Australian Standards
Since 2019, CSEES has served as a service provider for the Clean Energy Regulator, which is responsible for implementing and regulating the Renewable Energy Target (RET). CSEES performs audits on a regular basis on a selection of submissions to the Regulator’s Register of Renewable Water Heaters which includes residential and commercial solar water heaters and heat pumps. These audits involve comprehensive checks across many details in an applicant’s submission, according to the Renewable Energy (Method for Solar Water Heaters) Determination, 2016. CSEES has set up a system of quality assurance procedures to ensure that all submissions are fully consistent from test report data and manufacturer’s technical specifications through to the TRNSYS modelling and STC results. CSEES consultants are highly trained and have excellent attention to detail, with thorough knowledge of the various Australian/New Zealand standards that underpin this work: AS/NZS 4234, AS/NZS 4692, AS/NZS 5125, AS/NZS 2712, AS/NZS 2535.
