Changes in FormBay to meet new requirements for installs from 01/04/2022

 

Changes to FormBay for  PV Installs form 1 April 2022

The CER have new requirements for all STC applications with installs from Friday 1st April 2022.  

We have worked hard to make the changes as smooth as possible, to not affect your normal Formbay workflow.  

However, it is important that you are aware of the changes to the new statements on the STC form and the new submission process.  

Updated STC Assignment Form 

The CER have updated the statement that CEC Installers and Designers sign as part of the STC form. 

  • Please make sure your installers and designers read the statement before they sign.  
  • No extra steps, just sign as usual using the Formbay app.

New Retailer Statement 

When submitting an STC form to Formbay via your portal, the user that clicks the submit button will be required to agree to a ‘Retailer Statement’. 

  • This user will need to be an authorised user for the business, which you can set up via the teams section in your Formbay portal.  
  • We recommend that all users of your Formbay account be registered as authorised users via the Teams section. This will be the main point of contact for the CER should they wish to audit the retailer directly.

New On-Site Data Requirement 

The inverter serial number is now mandatory. 

  • The installer will need to scan the inverter’s serial onsite via the Formbay app.  
  • Most Formbay app users scan the inverter serial anyway, we don’t expect this to be a significant change to the app’s workflow.
