As Australia accelerates its clean energy transition, solar EPC professionals face mounting pressure to deliver smarter, faster, and fully compliant installations. The evolving regulatory framework, particularly around CEC-approved panels, inverters, and batteries, has created new layers of complexity for residential and commercial solar projects.

Amidst these industry shifts, Eclipse360 is carving out a clear path forward, helping EPCs gain control over their entire project pipeline with a purpose-built CRM platform. Designed for the modern solar-battery ecosystem, Eclipse360 enhances operational efficiency, compliance tracking, and post-installation service, all within one intuitive system.

Understanding CEC Compliance It’s Non-Negotiable

To qualify for national rebates and participate in government-led energy programs, all core solar components; panels, inverters, and batteries, must be listed on the Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved product registry.

Over the past year, the industry has witnessed a tightening of standards, with several products being delisted due to certification lapses or non-compliance. For EPCs, this means working only with CEC-listed equipment is essential, not just for rebate eligibility, but also to maintain installation credibility and avoid project delays.

In response, Eclipse360 integrates CEC compliance validation directly into its project management flow. This allows EPC teams to:

• Instantly verify component eligibility

• Flag non-compliant products before install

• Maintain audit-ready records for grid applications and rebate submissions

Eclipse360: A Purpose-Built Solar CRM for EPCs

Unified Project Control

Eclipse360 consolidates every element of the solar-battery installation process, from lead qualification to final commissioning, into a single, user-friendly platform. With tailored modules for design, logistics, documentation, and aftercare, the CRM supports the full Solar EPC lifecycle with:

• Compliance tracking for CEC-listed components

• Real-time installer coordination and scheduling

• STC documentation processes

• Grid connection status updates

• Warranty and lifecycle management for batteries

This end-to-end control eliminates manual workflows and reduces the margin for error, critical in a sector governed by strict regulatory checks and rebate qualifications.

Scheduling, Mounting, and Site Readiness

Efficient project execution requires more than just solar panels and batteries, it relies on seamless coordination of equipment, people, and logistics. For EPCs managing multiple installations across regions, Eclipse360 ensures that key operational elements are never overlooked.

Key Features

• Smart scheduling tools to assign installers based on location, availability, and licensing

• BOM tracking for mounting systems, tilt kits, and lifting gear

• Project-specific equipment planning to ensure mounting logistics align with site type and roof profile

• Centralized tracking of site safety documentation and structural assessments

With these tools, EPCs can reduce delays, prevent duplication, and better manage compliance across complex jobs.

Ready for the Battery-Centric Solar Era

Battery storage is no longer an optional add-on; it’s now a core part of solar system design. With state and federal battery rebate programs gaining momentum, EPCs are increasingly required to integrate advanced energy storage systems that are both CEC-approved and Virtual Power Plant (VPP)-compatible.

Solar CRM can simplify battery integration

• Dynamic tracking of battery model compliance

• VPP readiness status per installation

• Lifecycle monitoring for ongoing performance and warranty compliance

• Firmware and maintenance reminders for long-term customer support

By centralizing battery-related data alongside inverter and module records, EPCs can confidently scale their solar-plus-storage offerings while staying ahead of policy changes and incentive eligibility.

Compliance + Software = Futureproofing

Industry experts increasingly stress the importance of pairing solar engineering with intelligent software infrastructure. As compliance standards evolve and demand surges, only EPCs with systems in place to monitor, manage, and automate will remain competitive.

CEC listing isn’t just a box to tick, it’s the foundation for every rebate, every grid connection, and every audit. Integrating that into daily workflows is now essential.

These insights reflect a growing consensus: Solar CRM platforms are no longer a luxury, they’re a necessity for modern solar businesses navigating a regulated, fast-moving market.

Designed with Solar EPC Growth in Mind

Eclipse360's CRM isn't a one-size-fits-all tool. It's engineered for:

• Australian EPCs focused on residential rooftops, commercial installations, and battery retrofits

• Teams managing logistics-heavy installs requiring mounting gear, crane scheduling, and compliance tracking

• Solar professionals who need a centralized view of leads, projects, and compliance timelines

By addressing the practical needs of solar installation teams, beyond sales pipelines and lead gen, it ensures EPCs can move faster, remain compliant, and build scalable businesses in Australia’s renewable energy sector.
