Commercial operators and the National Solar Schools Program
The National Solar Schools Program is an Australian Government program.
No commercial operators such as installers or suppliers are authorised to operate on behalf of the National Solar Schools Program in any capacity.
Several companies are offering services, for a fee, to assist schools to access their National Solar Schools Program funding. These companies are not Australian Government representatives or Australian Government endorsed suppliers. The National Solar Schools Program registration and claim process is simple, straightforward and not competitive.
Registering your school and claiming National Solar Schools Program funding is free. The National Solar Schools Team can provide advice if required.
National Solar Schools Program funding cannot be used to fund certain activities, for example, project administration and coordination, research, energy and water use efficiency audits, design, planning, educational activities, promotional activities, reporting, auditing or any costs you incur in obtaining quotes or preparing and submitting a registration or claim for funding. The National Solar Schools Program will not reimburse you for any costs you are charged by a consultant for any of these activities.
The National Solar Schools Program will also not accept any registration or claim submitted by anyone other than a school employee who has been authorised to submit a registration or claim on behalf of the school. Your school is legally responsible for managing the National Solar Schools Program funding.
If you have any questions about the program, the registration form or the registration and claim process, please phone our national information line on 1800 703 831.
