Manual Compliance Documentation & Verification Bottleneck
Definition
Installers of SRES-eligible systems (solar PV + batteries) must: (1) generate accurate written statements for STC claims; (2) verify on-site attendance documentation; (3) confirm all components are CEC-approved; (4) maintain electrical safety compliance records; (5) prepare audit-ready documentation. Manual processes using spreadsheets, email chains, and phone records create queue delays and idle technician time.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 8,000–20,000/month lost installation revenue per 5-person crew (estimated at 40–80 lost billable hours @ AUD 100–150/hour); Annual capacity loss: AUD 96,000–240,000 per installer.
- Frequency: Every installation; Audit preparation: quarterly to annually.
- Root Cause: No integrated compliance document management; Manual cross-referencing of CEC approved components; Offline attendance tracking; Email-based statement verification.
