SAA issues demerit points on the inspections supplied to us.
Non-compliance points structure for Solar Victoria Audit Reports
Non-compliance points are based on the individual non-compliant items listed in the inspection reports we receive, rather than the overall categorisation of the report. Depending on the source of the inspection report, we weigh the number of non-compliance points to demerit points to ensure a fair system.
SAA Category | Solar Victoria Non-Compliant Item Category | SAA Non-Compliance Points | Description |
Unsafe | Unsafe | 10 | The system poses an imminent risk of damage to property or persons. The system had to be shut down and made safe. |
Needs Rectification | Needs Rectification | 6 | The system has failed to meet key requirements and poses a high risk that may lead to premature equipment failure or other issues. |
