A standard Stand Alone Power systems (SPS) contract for use between clients and suppliers/installers is now available for download from the SEANZ website documents section.

This contract clearly sets out a clear agreement between supplier/installer and the end customer including system design assumptions, equipment supplied and payment terms.

SEANZ encourages all consumers and suppliers/installers to use a robust contract for the benefit of both parties.

The contract has been adapted from a contract provided by the Clean Energy Council, Australia. The contract was originally funded by Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.

SEANZ would like to acknowledge the support of these two organisations, and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), for their assistance in adapting this contract to New Zealand.
