Green Electric Solutions has earned REC Certified Solar Professional status — one of the solar industry’s most recognised installer accreditations in Australia. For Victorian homeowners considering solar, this means your system is designed and installed by a team that has been independently vetted by one of the world’s leading panel manufacturers, and that you qualify for REC’s extended ProTrust warranty program.
What Is REC Solar and Why Does It Matter in Australia?
REC Group is a Norwegian-founded solar energy company with over 30 years of manufacturing experience and more than 50 million panels installed globally. In Australia, REC panels are widely regarded for their high efficiency, durability in harsh climates, and strong warranty backing. REC’s TwinPeak and Alpha panel series consistently rank among the top performers in independent reliability assessments — making them a popular choice for Australian residential installations where panel longevity matters as much as upfront cost.
REC doesn’t allow any installer to offer its full warranty package. Only companies that complete REC’s accreditation program — covering panel knowledge, installation standards, and customer service requirements — earn Certified Solar Professional status. Green Electric Solutions has now met those requirements.
What the REC Certification Means for Victorian Homeowners
| Benefit | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| REC ProTrust Warranty | Installations through a REC Certified Professional qualify for REC’s extended ProTrust warranty — up to 25 years product and performance coverage backed directly by the manufacturer. |
| Verified Installation Competency | REC independently verifies that our team meets their standards for correct system design, handling, and installation — not just that we stock their panels. |
| Manufacturer-Backed Support | In the unlikely event of a panel issue, warranty claims are supported directly by REC — a global manufacturer with Australian operations — rather than a local distributor who may no longer be trading. |
| Quality Assurance on Every Job | REC Certified Professionals must maintain installation standards to retain accreditation — giving homeowners ongoing confidence rather than a one-time credential. |

Frequently Asked Questions – REC Certified Solar in Victoria
What is a REC Certified Solar Professional?
A REC Certified Solar Professional is an installer that has been vetted and accredited directly by REC Group — one of the world’s largest solar manufacturers. The accreditation verifies that the installer meets REC’s standards for correct panel installation, system design knowledge, and customer service — and is the only way to offer customers access to REC’s extended ProTrust warranty.
What is the REC ProTrust warranty and how long does it last?
The REC ProTrust warranty is an extended manufacturer warranty available exclusively through REC Certified Solar Professionals. It covers both product defects and performance degradation for up to 25 years, and is backed directly by REC Group — providing homeowners with long-term protection from a global manufacturer rather than relying solely on the installer’s own guarantee.
Are REC solar panels available in Australia?
Yes. REC Group has an established presence in the Australian market and their panels are widely installed across residential and commercial properties. REC’s TwinPeak and Alpha series are well-regarded for performance in Australian conditions, including high temperatures and UV exposure. Green Electric Solutions can specify REC panels as part of a new solar system design.
Does Green Electric Solutions install REC solar panels across Melbourne?
Yes. As a REC Certified Solar Professional, GES installs REC panels across Melbourne and greater Victoria — covering all suburbs within 80 km of Altona North. Installations qualify for the full REC ProTrust warranty alongside any applicable government rebates including STCs and Solar Victoria incentives.
Can I still claim government solar rebates with a REC panel installation?
Yes. REC panel installations are eligible for federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and Victorian Solar Homes rebates in the same way as other CEC-approved equipment. GES manages all rebate paperwork as part of the installation, so you receive both the government discount and the REC ProTrust warranty coverage.
