Jouli CockpitVEU jobs fail on paperwork, not pricing.
Victorian Energy Upgrades turns heat pump hot water, reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling insulation into certificate-backed jobs. The discount is the easy part. The evidence is what the regulator actually comes for.
This page describes work in design, not a shipped feature. Jouli Cockpit quotes solar and battery today. Reviewed 4 October 2026.
The enforcement is not theoretical.
Through 2026 the program's regulator has cancelled, suspended and refused accreditations, and businesses have forfeited certificates — repeatedly over install photographs.
Every one of those is an evidence failure, not a maths failure. If the proof of a compliant install is assembled days later from whatever photos someone happened to take, the business is carrying a liability it cannot see.
Items as reported and dated in Jouli's rebate and scheme monitoring.Three quotes that aren't solar.
Each has its own eligibility, its own customer contribution and its own evidence list — all set by the scheme, and all subject to change.
Heat pump hot water
Replacing an existing electric or gas storage system. Eligibility turns on what is being replaced, and the customer contribution is part of the offer, not a footnote.
Reverse-cycle air conditioning
Efficient space heating and cooling, with the activity depending on the existing system and the dwelling. The honest quote states the discount and what the household still pays.
Ceiling insulation
Open to Victorian homes from 1 October 2026, with a mandatory customer co-payment and strict rules on how the work may be sold — no cold calling, no doorknocking.
What Jouli is being built to do.
Pick the activity, not the product
The scheme defines activities, each with its own eligibility test. The cockpit asks the questions the activity requires and refuses to produce a quote that cannot qualify.
State the co-payment plainly
Where the scheme mandates a customer contribution, it belongs on the face of the document next to the discount — not discovered on install day.
Capture evidence while the installer is there
The declarations, serial numbers, decommissioning proof and photographs the activity requires, captured against the job on site, timestamped, and impossible to backfill without it being visible that they were.
Keep the selling rules in the system
Where an activity restricts how it may be marketed, the restriction lives in the workflow rather than in a policy document nobody reads.
Hand over an audit-ready file
One job, one record: who sold it, who installed it, what was replaced, what was claimed, and the dated proof of each — ready to produce on request.
Jouli is a software vendor, not an Accredited Provider. The cockpit is designed to support businesses working under their own accreditation; it does not create or trade certificates, and eligibility and certificate values are set by the scheme, not by us. Program rules are published at energy.vic.gov.au and administered by the Essential Services Commission.

We are designing this with operators who live in it. If that is you, your paperwork pain is the specification.
