Solar Power Nation banned from scheme nationwide
Clean Energy Regulator permanently banned Solar Power Nation from the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme.
The regulator said Solar Power Nation didn't meet the "fit and proper" standard required by the scheme. The scheme requires good business practices, integrity and skill.
Michael Clarke, Sally Pearson and Kyle Chalmers promoted the company as ambassadors on its website. The South Australian Consumer Affairs Commissioner issued a warning in July.
The company received dozens of complaints between July 2025 and April 2026. It was removed from the voluntary New Energy Tech Consumer Code in December 2025.
The company had failed to install systems that met the code's standards. Solar Power Nation has 60 days to request a review of the ban.

Why it mattersIf you bought solar from this company, you lose the scheme's regulatory protection. Consumers should check if their system is still covered.
