The Solar Panel Validation (SPV) initiative was designed to protect Australian consumers and the industry reputation by facilitating the verification of solar products through the use of mobile applications.

This initiative addresses a problem shared by consumers, the industry and government, and is a proactive step in addressing the use of unapproved (sub-standard and counterfeit) solar panels in the Australian market, which damage consumer confidence in rooftop solar and take sales from legitimate businesses.

Dataforce has partnered with the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) to develop an approved SPV mobile solution - a feature of Dataforce ASAP - to seamlessly verify solar panels, manage solar jobs and claim STCs quicker from any location, including while out in the field.
