Updated photographic evidence and solar and heat pump product application forms
We have added a requirement to include photographs of the nameplates of heat pump water heaters with the product applications. For heat pump hot water systems with an integrated tank and heat pump, we require only a single photograph of the nameplate. For heat pump hot water systems where the heat pump is separated from the tank, we need photographs of the nameplates of both heat pump and the tank.
We have also updated our Solar and Heat Pump Product Application Form and split the excel spreadsheet in this form which previously covered heat pumps and solar water heaters into two separate documents to minimise errors and increase efficiency.
