  • This training follows the CEC (Clean Energy Council) guidelines.

ABOUT THE COURSE

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE

This Solar Panel Installation course is designed for electricians who want to learn how to install solar photovoltaic systems. This course does not include the design of grid-connected solar PV systems.

After successful completion of this course, you will be able to apply for the Grid-connect Install Only accreditation with the Clean Energy Council of Australia.

This course is made for people who require a fast-paced and flexible learning environment while getting top-quality training.

COURSE OVERVIEW

This Solar Panel Installation course covers providing known solutions to predictable problems in photovoltaic energy apparatus and systems operated at ELV and LV. It encompasses working safely, and problem-solving procedures, including the use of basic voltage, current and resistance measuring devices, providing known solutions to predictable circuit problems.

This Solar Panel Installation course covers the installation, adjustment and set-up of photovoltaic power systems and connecting to a supply grid inverter. It encompasses working safely and to installation standards, matching components with that specified for a given location, placing and securing system components accurately, making required circuit connections and completing the necessary installation documentation.
