Australia Solar Import FAQ

Are JUSTSOLAR modules CEC approved for Australia?

Yes — we maintain CEC (Clean Energy Council) approved product listing, mandatory for SRES (STC) and LGC (Large-scale Generation Certificate) eligible installations. CEC listing covers specific model + serial ranges; verify before ordering. Periodic re-certification as CEC updates standards. Our IEC 61215 + IEC 61730 + AS/NZS 5033 + AS/NZS 4777 test certificates bundled with each shipment.

What's the STC vs LGC difference for my project?

SRES (STC - Small-scale Technology Certificates): for systems ≤100 kW, tradeable certificates give upfront discount (~$0.30-0.40 per Watt installed, varies). LRET (LGC - Large-scale Generation Certificates): for systems >100 kW, annual certificates based on MWh generated. CEC approval required for both. Residential + small commercial uses STC; utility + large C&I uses LGC. JUSTSOLAR modules qualify for both.

How fast is shipping to Australia?

Shanghai → Fremantle: 12-15 days (fastest AUS route). Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane: 14-18 days. Add 5-7 days factory production if no stock. Australian customs clearance: 2-5 days for compliant documentation. Total: 3-4 weeks from order to Australian port typically.

What are import duties and GST on solar panels in Australia?

Solar modules: 0% import duty under China-Australia FTA (ChAFTA) — Certificate of Origin Form ChAFTA required. GST: 10% on CIF value. Customs clearance fee: nominal. Total nationalization: ~11-12% on CIF. JUSTSOLAR provides ChAFTA Certificate of Origin free for all Australia shipments.

Should I use HJT or TOPCon for Australian conditions?

Varies by region: HJT 730W optimal for Northern Territory, Queensland (hot inland), Western Australia Pilbara. -0.24%/°C temperature coefficient captures 3-4% more annual yield in >40°C ambient. TOPCon 600W sufficient for Southern climate zones (Victoria, Tasmania, Sydney coastal). For residential rooftop where premium pays back via aesthetics + high-density, HJT can justify premium. Our quote includes technology recommendation per postcode.

What payment terms for Australian buyers?

Australia is low-risk market. Established Australian clients: 30% deposit + 70% against B/L copy standard. New clients: same terms often possible. L/C accepted from Commonwealth Bank (CBA), ANZ, Westpac, NAB, HSBC Australia for 5+ container orders. USD or AUD (via Aus bank) both accepted. Trade Assurance for smaller transactions.
