Solar Accreditation Australia has developed a simple video to support installers in understanding the Installation Limit.
SAA Requirements state that “where an Accredited Installer is physically undertaking all stages of an installation or supervising an installation by others, they shall not sign off on more than two installations per day”.
This limit applies to both solar and battery systems. Accreditees who install both system types may structure their installations within the prescribed limits as follows:
- Two solar systems, or
- Two battery systems or,
- One solar system and one battery system.
For absolute clarity – a battery and solar installation at the same property, are two systems, even when they share a common inverter.
The day of sign off is the small-scale technology certificate (STC) claim date, regardless of when the balance of the system was installed.
The short video provides a practical example of how the Installation Limit is applied and addresses some misconceptions.
SAA has released a special consideration for relief process for installers who misunderstood how the installation limits are applied. More information on the limited-time application for special consideration and related eligibility criteria, is available on our news site.
