Solar Accreditation Australia, or SAA, is the body responsible for accrediting solar and battery installers in Australia. Accreditation means the installer has met a minimum standard of training and agrees to operate under a code of conduct.

There’s a practical reason to check it as well. Engaging an SAA-accredited installer is a baseline requirement for STCs to be claimed under the SRES, the federal small-scale renewable energy scheme. That makes it an essential credential to verify before you commit to anyone.
