Free, structured paths through the Australian solar job — written from the rules our own engine has to apply, so the numbers in them are the numbers a real quote uses. Start anywhere; they are ordered because the questions arrive in an order.
The scheme decides a good part of every quote you write, and most of what goes wrong with it goes wrong before the install. This is the whole path — what a certificate is, what the CER checks, and what a clean claim looks like when it lands.
