    Dear Solar Industry Member,
    Did you know: The solar sector is Vastly under-represented on the CEC board. Solar companies make up ~75% of CEC members, but carry only ~50% of votes at the AGM. Our board representation could fall as low as 23%, but your vote this week could strongly change this. With your vote solar representation on the CEC board could exceed 70% of seats. We've made it easy to vote

    At the AGM, there will be a vote on a special resolution (Resolution C) aimed at reducing the number of Board members from 13 to 9 (over two years) and removing the automatic place on the Board for one Network and one Associate member (the membership categories most solar companies fall into). We should focus on improving the effectiveness of the CEC before considering limiting the representation on the Board. If 25% of votes are against this resolution, there will be 7 new Board members (of 13) elected at the AGM but if the resolution is past, there will be only 5 (of 11).

    You’re encouraged to attend in Melbourne on the Thursday 17th of November at 3pm. Otherwise, if voting by post, you’ll need to ensure that your form arrives at the CEC at least 48 hours ahead of the AGM. So make sure its sent by Monday 14th November at the latest. Post it to Ms Hannah Coffey of CEC at Suite 201, 18 Kavanagh Street, Southbank 3006, or fax on (61 3) 9929 4101. Completed Proxy Forms may also be hand delivered, or scanned and emailed to hannah@cleanenergycouncil.org.au

    With this in mind, SunWiz (in consultation with other solar industry members including the solar roundtable) suggest that you vote in the following way.
    1. Jeremy Rich, Energy Matters
    2. Oliver Hartley, Q-Cells
    3. John Susa, Trina Solar
    4. Steve Rust, Panasonic (Sanyo)
    5. Martin Jones, CSR
    6. Peter Cowling, GE

    Note that the relative order of the first three candidates is not important, nor of the second three. We recommend you place Associate Member Steve Rust (Panasonic) in position 4, 5,or 6 to take advantage of the automatic seat should the special resolution fail to pass. Email me for a a pre-filled proxy form, or fill in your own at http://www.cleanenergycouncil.org.au/dms/cec/_membership-docs/2011-AGM-docs/Notice-of-Meeting-Explanatory-Notes-Proxy-Form/Notice of Meeting Explanatory Notes Proxy Form.pdf

    Review of the Australian solar PV industry 2011 (members only - link)

    The Australian solar PV industry has gone through an enormous period of growth with an estimated 380MW of capacity installed in 2010 alone. The CEC commissioned Solar Business Services and Sunwiz Consulting to examine the current status of the market in Australia and review the trends, economic impacts and the policy settings. The report also explores the outlook for the industry over the next decade.

    Modification of the Solar Credits Multiplier Final Report

    The Clean Energy Council engaged Intelligent Energy Systems (IES) to investigate the impact of potential changes to the solar credits scheme on the overall Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) market over the period from 1 July 2011 to 31 December 2014.
