C&I Solar Installers: Unlock more value from every solar project.

Why partnering with Northmore Gordon boosts your margins and cuts complexity.

If you’re a commercial and industrial (C&I) solar installer, you already know that project margins are tight and environmental certificates can make or break the business case. But with changing eligibility rules, complex documentation requirements, and a maze of certificate schemes (VEECs, STCsSmall-scale Technology Certificate under the Australian Renewable Energy Target. More, LGCs, ACCUs, REGOs), many installers are leaving value on the table.

At Northmore Gordon, we help you claim every dollar your projects are entitled to, while taking the burden of compliance and administration off your hands.

VEECs for Mid-Sized Solar

Did you know? You can now claim Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) for solar systems between 30–200 kW under Activity 47 of the VEUVictorian Energy Upgrades is a Victorian government energy efficiency program that gives every Victorian household and business the opportunity to receive rebates or discounts on energy saving products. program, something previously reserved for larger or more complex installations. That means:

• Deemed VEECs upfront, alongside STCs or LGCs
• Stronger ROI and faster project payback
• More competitive client proposals

But tapping into this revenue stream isn’t automatic. It requires the right method, compliant documentation, and strategic planning.

Common Challenges for Solar Installers

Solar Installers often struggle with:

• Knowing which certificates a project qualifies for
• Choosing the most valuable method (Deemed vs. M&V)
• Managing the evidence burden (metering, data collection, documentation, approvals)
• Avoiding errors that lead to rejected claims or audits
• Selling certificates at the right time for maximum return

This complexity adds administrative burden, delays payments, and introduces unnecessary risk.
