STC claims & trading
The claim already knows everything about the job.
You designed the system here. You quoted it here. The serials came off the installer's phone here. So the STC claim shouldn't be a fresh form in somebody else's portal — it should be nineteen checks, four signatures and a lodgement.
Where the money actually leaks
Nobody loses a claim because the maths was hard. They lose it because a serial was photographed badly, a selfie was taken the day after the install, an accreditation lapsed in the middle of a job, or the same panel got claimed twice across two systems. Every one of those is knowable before you lodge — and every one of them is discovered weeks later by somebody else's compliance team.
Nineteen checks, run before you lodge
Not a "validation" that shrugs. These are the actual rules SunLedger runs against a claim, every time it changes — and here they all are, because a compliance tool that won't tell you what it checks is asking for a lot of trust.
Evidence comes off the phone, not out of a folder
Named slots, so nobody has to remember the list — and the photos carry their own coordinates and timestamps, which is what turns a folder of images into evidence.
Solar · PVD
Ten slots, checked for completeness, location and date.
- Check-in selfie — installer on site, start of day
- Mid-installation selfie
- End-of-installation selfie
- Panel model label — module compliance plate
- Panels installed — arrays on the roof
- Inverter model label
- Inverter installed
- Meter box, open — including the back of the cover
- Front of property
- Certificate of Electrical Safety — COES / CCEW / CES
Battery · BTY
Its own twelve, because a battery claim is not a solar claim with an extra photo.
- Battery module labels — one per serial plate
- Battery installed, in situ
- Battery labels & signage — front and sides
- Main battery supply switch
- Switchboard labels — inside and outside
- Inverter model label
- Front of property + the three selfies
- Certificate of Electrical Safety
Four statements, signed on a phone
The owner's assignment declaration, and written statements from the installer, the designer and the retailer. Each goes out as its own link and comes back signed — no printing, no scanning, and no chasing a customer for a document they have already lost twice. A linked solar-and-battery pair carries its own second set.
Lodge to your trader, or file it yourself
Three trader connectors are built in. Push the claim across, and serials, photos and status come back on their own — so the board tells you where every claim actually is, not where you last remembered putting it.
Connector
GreenDeal
Claim becomes a job, serials and photos sync across, status pulls back on a six-hourly sweep. A linked solar-and-battery pair is one GreenDeal job. Release removes it again before lodgement.
Connector
Bridge Select
Create-or-edit is idempotent per claim, so pushing again is an update rather than a duplicate. Solar, battery and combined jobs, with your own agreed rate shown beside the live feeds.
The maths, kept current
Zones, deeming years and the battery tiers are in the product rather than in a spreadsheet on somebody's desktop — including the change on 1 May 2026, where battery certificates moved from a flat rate to the tiered 100 / 60 / 15 % structure with its January and July steps. Installs before that date keep the old maths, because re-tiering history is how you turn a correct claim into a wrong one.
