How We Work

How We Work

A transparent, structured approach aligned with the New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC) — from first enquiry to ongoing support.

Our Commitment to You

APM Energy operates with structured systems and procedures aligned with the New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC), ensuring compliance across all stages of the customer journey — from initial enquiry through to post-installation support.

The business is committed to delivering transparent and accurate information, designing fit-for-purpose systems, ensuring compliant installation practices, and maintaining accountability beyond project completion.

Our Process

Nine structured stages — covering every aspect of your journey from first contact to long-term support.

01

Sales & Customer Engagement

We conduct structured consultations to assess your energy consumption patterns, tariff structures, and anticipated future needs such as EV integration or business electrification. Proposals are prepared with clear detail on system configuration, expected performance ranges, key assumptions, and limitations — with no misleading representations. You are provided with sufficient information and time to make an informed decision.

02

System Design

Designs are developed to be fit-for-purpose, based on site-specific conditions and customer requirements. Consideration is given to roof orientation, shading, available space, electrical configuration, and load profile. Network constraints such as export limits and DNSP requirements are factored into all designs. Future requirements, including battery integration and load growth, are also considered where applicable. Designs are prepared using industry-standard tools and reviewed prior to installation.

03

Contracts & Documentation

APM Energy utilises standardised contractual documentation to ensure clarity and transparency. All agreements clearly define the scope of works, system specifications, inclusions and exclusions, pricing, payment terms, and applicable warranties. Pricing structures are fully transparent with no hidden costs. Formal proposal documentation is provided prior to acceptance.

04

Agreement & Scheduling

Once you are ready to proceed, we finalise the agreement, arrange the deposit, and schedule your installation at a time that suits you. A confirmed timeline is provided and you are kept informed of any changes prior to the installation date.

05

Installation & Safety

All installations are delivered by qualified and accredited installers in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and workplace health and safety requirements. Appropriate planning is undertaken prior to installation to address site conditions and safety considerations. Installation activities are monitored to ensure adherence to the defined scope and compliance obligations. Quality assurance checks are conducted to verify installation standards and system integrity.

06

Grid Connection & Compliance

APM Energy manages grid connection processes and regulatory requirements on behalf of the customer. This involves coordination of pre-approval applications, management of export limitations, and submission of required documentation to the relevant DNSP. All compliance requirements are addressed prior to system commissioning to ensure regulatory alignment.

07

Commissioning & Handover

Systems are commissioned and tested to confirm functionality and performance prior to handover. Customers are provided with access to monitoring platforms and guidance on system operation, including safety procedures and basic troubleshooting. Handover is completed once the system is verified as operational and compliant.

08

After-Sales Support & Warranty

APM Energy maintains ongoing responsibility for customer support following installation. Support is provided for system performance enquiries, fault identification, and general operation. Warranty claims and defect resolution are managed in coordination with relevant manufacturers and installation teams. A clear point of contact is maintained to ensure continuity of communication.

09

Complaints Handling

A formal complaints handling process is maintained in line with consumer protection guidelines. Complaints are acknowledged promptly, assessed objectively, and addressed within a reasonable timeframe. Where required, matters are escalated to ensure appropriate resolution. All complaints and outcomes are recorded to support continuous improvement.
