You need complete installation records for every solar job: signed customer consent, compliant wiring diagrams, correct STC assignment forms, and evidence of AS/NZS 5033 compliance. Ask Tradie Brain AI for a pre-audit checklist specific to your business setup and it will walk you through it step by step.
NSW electricians must lodge a Certificate of Compliance Electrical Work (CCEW) within 7 days of completing any electrical installation. Failure to lodge is a breach under the Home Building Act 1989 and can attract fines. Tradie Brain AI can explain what triggers a CCEW, how to handle partial completions, and how to manage lodgement at scale.
AS/NZS 5139:2019 covers safety clearances, ventilation, wiring specifications, signage, and documentation for all battery energy storage system (BESS) installations in Australia. Compliance is mandatory. Ask Tradie Brain AI for clearance requirements for specific battery brands or how to document compliance for a CER audit.
