The 2026 Solar Compliance Checklist is designed for Australian solar and battery installers who need a single, reliable reference for every job. It covers the requirements across the full installation lifecycle.
CER Accreditation — Current CEC accreditation, correct endorsement categories, professional indemnity insurance, and electrical licence validity checks. These are the first things an auditor will look at.
AS/NZS Standards Compliance — Wiring under AS/NZS 3000, PV array installation under AS/NZS 5033, and battery storage under AS/NZS 5139:2019. The checklist maps each requirement to the specific installation stage where it applies.
STC Documentation — Every field the Clean Energy Regulator requires for Small-scale Technology Certificate claims, including the photo documentation that protects you in an audit.
Battery Storage Add-On — The specific clearance, labelling, thermal management, and handover documentation requirements under AS/NZS 5139. See our full guide: AS/NZS 5139 Battery Storage Compliance Guide.
Want to Automate Your Compliance Workflow?
A printed checklist is a good start. But for solar businesses doing 20+ jobs a month, digital job management means compliance documentation that's automatically attached to every job record — retrievable in seconds when an audit call comes.
ServiceM8 for Solar Installers covers how Australian solar businesses are using digital workflows to eliminate compliance risk — and the 14-day free trial lets you test it before spending anything.
