Solar Powing Licensing & Rules in Western Australia
Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in Western Australia.
Licensed electrical contractor
Solar PV installation is classified as electrical installing work under the Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991. Only licensed electricians working for a licensed electrical contractor may carry out wiring, switchgear and inverter work. Providers without a contractor licence must engage a licensed contractor.
Notices and certificates
Electrical contractors must lodge a Preliminary Notice with the network operator before starting work, submit a Notice of Completion upon finishing and provide an Electrical Safety Certificate to the customer and network operator within 28 days.
Building permit requirements
Solar panel installation is building work. A building permit is required unless panels are mounted parallel to the roof within 100 mm, do not overhang or project near roof edges, and total area is less than 38 m² in non-cyclonic regions. Otherwise a building permit and compliance certificate from a building surveyor are needed.
Cyclonic regions and structural work
In cyclonic wind regions or where additional framing, roof reinforcement or structural alterations are required, a building permit is mandatory. Work may need to be undertaken by a registered builder and engineered to resist wind loads.
CEC accreditation and equipment
Installers should be accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia and use CEC-approved modules and inverters to access STC incentives and meet quality standards.
Insurance and safety
Public liability, professional indemnity and workers compensation insurance are recommended. Installers must follow WA work health and safety laws, including fall protection and electrical isolation procedures.
