Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) has been established as a not-for-profit organisation to advance the effective accreditation of designers and installers in accordance with the SRES Scheme, which covers both on and off grid solar, wind and hydro systems. 

As established by Master Electricians Australia and the Smart Energy Council, SAA is an independent and standalone organisation, with an independent chair and governance structure. 

The Clean Energy Regulator appointed SAA the installer and designer accreditation scheme operator (ASO) in February 2024, with a three-month transition period.
