RRE Suppliers.
Selected with care.

Know who supplies your equipment, what supports its claims and who will help after delivery.
RRE brings manufacturers and authorised suppliers into an Australian renewable-energy marketplace. Registration alone does not earn a public listing. Each business and each product must complete the relevant RRE review before being permitted on the public marketplace.

A business may be accepted as an RRE supplier while some of its products remain under review. Only the exact products and configurations cleared for public listing may appear in the buyer marketplace.
Who can become an RRE supplier?
Manufacturers, authorised distributors, wholesalers and other legitimate suppliers with a clear right to supply their products and the capacity to support Australian buyers.
A real, accountable business
Company identity, address, website and contact details, together with an authorised representative and the business’s role in the supply chain.
Authority to supply
Evidence of manufacturing or supply authority, accurate brand and model information, and a clear allocation of product and support responsibilities.
Support & fulfilment
Written warranty terms, Australian support arrangements, availability, packaging, safe handling and the ability to prepare and deliver the order.
Australian requirements come before public listing.
Before a product can be listed, RRE requires evidence addressing the standards, registrations, approvals and certificates applicable to that product, its configuration and intended Australian use. A supplier’s reputation or an overseas certificate alone is not enough.
RRE checks the named manufacturer, exact model and covered variants, document scope, issuer, validity and relevant register entries. Missing, expired, withdrawn or mismatched evidence keeps the affected listing on hold.
There is no single certificate covering every renewable-energy product. Requirements vary by equipment type, jurisdiction, installation and application.
Electrical safety, registrations & the RCM
Where the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) applies, the Australian or New Zealand Responsible Supplier must be registered. Equipment evidence, certification and registration requirements depend on its risk level. RRE checks these requirements where applicable, alongside relevant marking and other regulatory obligations.
The Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) is a compliance mark, not an RRE endorsement or a universal certificate. An overseas manufacturer is not automatically the Australian Responsible Supplier.
Read the EESS compliance steps ↗Solar panels, inverters & batteries
RRE checks relevant Clean Energy Council product-list entries where required for the proposed supply, installation or incentive pathway. The Council maintains separate lists for PV modules, inverters and batteries; one listed product does not approve a supplier’s whole range.
A product listing does not approve the complete project. Site design, equipment compatibility, licensed installation, network connection and any incentive eligibility still need their own checks.
View the CEC Approved Products program ↗Technical claims, batteries & safe transport
Specifications, ratings, images and performance claims must match the offered model and configuration. Suppliers must provide the applicable manuals, test reports and safety information, including battery transport and dangerous-goods documentation where required.
Packaging, labels, handling instructions and delivery arrangements must suit the actual goods. Unresolved technical or handling questions must be addressed before the relevant listing can be released.
Approval is a checkpoint, not the end.
- Review
Assess the business, product evidence, warranty and delivery readiness.
- Resolve
Request corrections, hold incomplete records or reject unsupported submissions.
- Release
Approve the reviewed supplier and exact product record separately for public display.
- Maintain
Keep records current. Changed or unsupported listings may be held, suspended or removed.
Clear information before you decide.
Review the exact offer
Check model and variant, specifications, supporting documents, included items, installation requirements and delivered-cost conditions.
Know the support pathway
Read who provides warranty support, how to contact them, and what is covered for parts, labour, freight and on-site work. Applicable Australian Consumer Law rights exist separately from written warranties.
Keep your records
Retain the accepted offer, invoice, model and serial numbers, delivery evidence and commissioning documents for future maintenance and support.
RRE reviews and organises marketplace evidence. It does not manufacture, certify, guarantee or insure supplier products. Marketplace approval does not replace regulator decisions, professional design, installer checks or project approvals, and does not remove anyone’s legal obligations.

Recorded for each supported transaction.
RRE coordinates delivery and payment through approved providers. The seller, importer and applicable tax arrangements are recorded for each supported transaction. Your confirmed quotation explains the delivery scope and total payable before purchase.
For supplier-direct DDP, the overseas seller is proposed as the named importer for its own goods, subject to the actual contracts and verified arrangements. An appointed Australian licensed customs broker clears the goods on its behalf. Seller, importer, broker, consignee, tax payer and product Responsible Supplier remain distinct roles. Paying freight or clearing goods does not automatically make RRE, the carrier, broker or buyer the importer.
What is reviewed before a transaction can proceed?
Seller and importer identity and ABN or Customs Client Identifier where applicable; broker licence and appointment; separate customs, freight-booking and payment authorities; GST registration type and professional assessment; any resident-agent implications; duty/GST funding, document recipients and credit treatment; and the relevant product regulatory structure. A customs importer profile is separate from product approval. In-scope electrical equipment needs its applicable eligible Australian/New Zealand Responsible Supplier and model evidence.
How are duty and GST handled?
Border import GST, sale GST, low-value marketplace obligations, resident-agent obligations, RRE service fees, freight, insurance and local-stock sales are assessed separately. An ABN or buyer category does not establish the GST result. Low customs value does not automatically mean no sale GST. Import GST and sale GST can be separate legitimate events; credits and included amounts must be accounted for correctly. No single duty rate applies to the catalogue, and Chinese origin alone does not establish a preference.
The assessment retains tariff classification, customs value, origin evidence, concessions, transport and insurance inputs, the prescribed customs exchange rate, rule versions and professional evidence. Buyer AUD conversion is recorded separately. RRE paying a tax invoice does not automatically give RRE a credit or make the amount RRE output GST. These arrangements are not an RRE-specific ATO approval.
What happens if information is missing or changes?
Draft registrations, products and orders can be saved. Confirmed transactions require current verified scope, price validity, availability and reservation arrangements. Material importer, tax, packaging, destination or freight changes require reassessment and a fresh quotation before payment. Existing transaction records are retained; missing identities are not invented retrospectively.
