Compliance automation for solar

In short

A compliance automation for a solar business tackles one specific leak: every accredited install has to become a small-scale technology certificate claim, and that means assembling install data, panel and inverter serials, signatures and compliance evidence to the Clean Energy Regulator's rules, by hand. It is slow, error-prone admin, and a submission that is late, incomplete or rejected is real certificate revenue held up or lost, discovered well after the installer has left the roof. Bamco builds it around the tools you already run, so it fits your operation rather than forcing you to change how you work.

The specific leak this plugs

Every accredited install has to become a small-scale technology certificate claim, and that means assembling install data, panel and inverter serials, signatures and compliance evidence to the Clean Energy Regulator's rules, by hand. It is slow, error-prone admin, and a submission that is late, incomplete or rejected is real certificate revenue held up or lost, discovered well after the installer has left the roof.

This is not a generic problem with a generic tool bolted on. It is a specific leak in a solar business, and the system is built to close it. You can see the full picture of where a solar business leaks margin on the solar industry page.

What Bamco builds

A compliance platform that assembles the STC claim from the data you already capture. It pulls install details, serial numbers and signatures from your job and design records, checks each claim against the current CER rules before it goes out, flags the missing document or mismatched serial before a submission is rejected rather than after, and tracks every job from commissioned to certificates claimed. It works alongside your OpenSolar records and accounting in Xero, so certificate revenue is monitored and reconciled rather than chased in a spreadsheet.

Two ways in
Ready to talk to the team who would build it?

Bring us the idea you already have, or book an audit and we map where the money is leaking. Either way, you deal directly with the senior team that designs and builds it.

What changes in week one, and by month three

Week one. From week one you can see, at a glance, which installs are ready to claim, which are missing a document or a serial, and which certificates are still outstanding, instead of trusting a spreadsheet someone updates when they remember.

Month three. By month three the assembly and checking has closed most of the gaps that used to hold claims up, rejected submissions are the exception rather than the norm, and STC revenue lands faster and more predictably because the paperwork stops being the bottleneck.

What it costs

Engagements typically start around $50k and are scoped after a systems audit, priced as a fraction of what a legacy build of the same capability would have quoted. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a real number before anything is built, and you own what we build. The point is not the price. It is that a well-built compliance automation for a solar business is meant to pay for itself in multiples, by plugging a leak that is costing you every week it stays open.

Common questions

Questions, answered

Does it handle the CER rules and small-scale technology certificates?
Yes. It assembles each STC claim from your install and design data, checks it against the current Clean Energy Regulator rules before submission, and flags the missing serial, signature or document before a claim is rejected. The aim is certificate revenue claimed quickly and cleanly instead of held up by manual, error-prone admin.
Will it work with the tools our solar business already uses?
Yes. Bamco builds around and into your existing stack, tools like OpenSolar, NearMap, Fronius Solar.web and the rest of what you run, rather than asking you to replace them. The compliance automation connects to what you have so data flows instead of being re-keyed, and you keep the systems your team already knows.
