Why Licensing Varies by State
Electrical licensing in Australia is regulated by each state and territory — there is no single national electrical licence. A licensed electrician in Victoria cannot perform licensed electrical work in NSW without holding an equivalent NSW licence. CEC accreditation is national but does not substitute for the state electrical licence — both are required.
State Electrical Licensing for Solar Work
State/Territory | Regulatory Body | Required Licence |
|---|---|---|
NSW | NSW Fair Trading | Electrical contractor licence + CEC accreditation |
VIC | Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) | Electrical contractor's licence (ECL) + registered electrical inspector for CCEW |
QLD | Electrical Safety Office (ESO) | Electrical contractor licence (QBCC) + CEC accreditation |
SA | Consumer and Business Services (CBS) | Electrical contractor licence + CEC accreditation |
WA | EnergySafety | Electrical contractor licence (EC) + CEC accreditation |
TAS | Office of the Technical Regulator | Electrical contractor licence + CEC accreditation |
NT | NT WorkSafe | Electrical contractor licence + CEC accreditation |
ACT | Access Canberra | Electrical contractor licence + CEC accreditation |
Compliance Statement and Certificate of Compliance
After completing a solar installation, the licensed electrical contractor must issue a Certificate of Compliance Electrical Work (CCEW) — or the equivalent state document (EWC in VIC, ESC in QLD). This document:
Declares the installation complies with all relevant electrical safety standards
Is required by the DNSP before the grid connection is approved
Is required by the CEC for the Design and Installation Certificate
Should be provided to the system owner and retained for the life of the system
