New features, improvements, and bug fixes from Dataforce Runabout V 7.7.0

Solar Panel Initiative (SPV)

This version of Runabout introduces support for the Solar Panel Validation (SPV) initiative.

SPV aims to protect the integrity of the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) and give industry and consumers an easy way to check and confirm that solar panels:

  • are backed by manufacturer warranties,
  • meet Australian standards for quality and performance, and
  • are eligible for small-scale technology certificates.

This feature is for participants of the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme who are creating STC’s from installing Solar PV systems.

Enabling this feature requires Additional Configuration to your instance.
