South Australian electrician Liam Sheppard has been convicted and fined $3,500 for providing false or misleading documents in the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). Sheppard pleaded guilty to charges relating to 62 solar photovoltaic system installations. He submittedfraudulent small-scale technology certificate assignment forms along with certificates of electrical safety to registered agents. The agents relied on this information to improperly create certificates for these installations. The legal proceedings lasted over three years, and the fine was reduced due to his personal circumstances.Authorities highlighted that such offenses damage industry integrity and warned that non-compliance will trigger enforcement actions.
