Does a completed check mean the product is listed or can be connected?

No. A tick records only that you opened the live source and checked the exact model in this browser session. The authority's own page is the record, so check again at quote, purchase and installation.

Why do the Western Power checks appear only for some WA sites?

Western Power's connection requirements apply to sites on its network in Western Australia, so they are added only when you select Western Australia and the Western Power network. Sites elsewhere, and WA sites on a Horizon Power network, follow their own distributor's requirements. Network authorities lists them.

Does Wattbench copy the CEC lists?

No. The tool links to the live Clean Energy Council pages. The lists change, so the exact model is checked in the source each time.

Is my data uploaded or saved?

No. The manufacturer, model and ticks stay in the page's memory and clear on reset, refresh or navigation. The dated check line goes only to your clipboard, and only when you choose to copy it.

Product Status Check

Equipment Status Check

Check an exact inverter, PV module or battery model against the live Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved list, delisting and product recall pages and CSIP-AUS sources, plus Western Power network sources for WA sites.

Sources listedReviewed September 2026Our methodology

Live authority check

Exact-model source check

Record a same-session check against the official sources. Wattbench does not copy the CEC lists, infer approval from a brand or certify a product, installer or connection.

Site state or territoryProduct classManufacturerExact model

Enter both the manufacturer and full model designation from the product label. A family name, series or brand is not enough to establish current-list status.

Product status

CEC list, de-listing and recall

CEC product lists are dynamic. Check the exact model and its expiry in the live list, then separately check suspensions, de-listings and recalls. A completed tick only records that you opened and checked the source in this browser session.

Connection and network readiness

Select the site's state or territory. Western Power checks appear for a Western Power site in Western Australia; elsewhere, find the site's distributor and open its live requirements.

Secure communications

CSIP-AUS remains unknown by default

Do not infer CSIP-AUS capability from a brand, product family or CEC approval alone. Only record the check when the exact model has current official documentation. NEPKI is the identity and trust layer for secure communications; it is not an installer accreditation.

Session progress

MODEL NEEDED

Even a complete session is not an approval or certificate. Retain the authority evidence required by your job process and recheck at each decision point.

Authority links and role wording last fully reviewed 2 Aug 2026; 11 of 12 rechecked 24 Sept 2026 (not reachable then: CSIP-AUS certification service). Link review runs on a 30-day cadence; live product status must be checked at the job decision point. Nothing entered or ticked here is uploaded or saved. The dated check line goes only to your clipboard.

Key takeaways

Links to the live Clean Energy Council list, de-listing and recall pages for the exact model rather than copying them.
Western Power connection sources appear only for WA sites on Western Power's network; Horizon Power sites and other states are pointed to the site's own distributor.
A tick or copied line records that you checked a source on a date. It is not a listing, connection or accreditation result.

How it works

The tool opens the live authority pages rather than a copy of them. The Clean Energy Council lists change, so an exact model's listing, expiry, suspension, de-listing and recall status is read from the source at the moment you check it.

Network checks depend on the site. Selecting Western Australia and the Western Power network adds Western Power's connection requirements, the current requirements document and its application path. A Horizon Power site, and every other state and territory, is pointed to Network authorities to find the distributor's own requirements.

A tick records only that you opened the source and checked the exact model in this browser session.
CSIP-AUS capability stays unknown unless current official evidence names the exact inverter model.
The copied line says what you checked and the date you checked it. It is never a status result.

A source checklist, not a status result: Wattbench does not decide whether a product is listed, recalled or fit to connect. Nothing entered or ticked here is uploaded or saved, and the dated check line goes only to your clipboard when you copy it.
