Specialised Solar & Battery Storage Courses

An unrestricted electrical licence issued by an Australian state or territory is a prerequisite for enrolment in this course. Electrical apprentices may enrol in this course, however they will need to wait till until they are issued their unrestricted licence before being awarded a Statement of Attainment OR show they have completed the prerequisite Units of Competency in their studies already:

One of:

• • UEEEL0039 Design, install and verify compliance and functionality of general electrical installations
  • UEERE0051 Apply electrical principles to renewable energy design
  • UEEEL0012 Install low voltage wiring, appliances, switchgear and associated accessories

This course builds on the knowledge of the Grid-Connected PV Systems Design and Install course, so a prerequisite for enrolment is a Statement of Attainment in the following Unit of Competency:

• UEERE0061: Design grid-connected photovoltaic power supply systems

If a student does not have a Statement of Attainment in UEERE0061 but does have a Statement of Attainment in any of the following superseded Units of Competency, they will be enrolled in gap assessment for UEERE0061

• • UEENEEK135A: Design grid connected photovoltaic power supply systems
  • UEENEEK035C: Design grid connected power supply systems
  • UEENEEK035B: Design grid connected power supply systems

This course uses two delivery methods:

• Online theory completed at students’ own pace with the assistance of a tutor.
• 2-day practical component held at the Training Facility of Energy Training Group.

Online component: The time to complete the online component will differ between students, but students should expect to commit around 84 hours (60 hours for online content and assessments, and 24 hours for the design task).

Practical sessions: Approximately 60% of the online assessments must be completed before attending the face-to-face practical component.

Courses are valid for twelve (12) months. Extension fees apply from the date of expiry, and the maximum extension permitted is six (6) months from the date of expiry.

Students can  buy the book from SAI Global website or the Techstreet website. For your information, the book is also available for reading in some libraries, institutions, and industry associations in Australia:

AS/NZS 5139 – Electrical installations – Safety of battery systems for use with power conversion equipment

• AS/NZS 4777.1 – Grid connection of energy systems via inverters – Part 1: Installation requirements
• AS/NZS 5033 – Installation and safety requirements for photovoltaic (PV) arrays
• AS/NZS 3000 – Wiring Rules
• AS/NZS 3008.1.1 – Electrical installations – Selection of cables

Enrolled students in this course must also have:

• Computer with a reliable Internet connection
• Scientific calculator
• Email account, checked regularly

The guidelines of the Australian Quality Framework are followed by our institute. We assure the education process through Grid Connected PV courses are in tune on the following parameters:

• Fair
• Flexible
• Reliable
• Valid

Energy Training Group will provide the recognition of prior learning evaluation, on special requests from candidates. The entry-level VET sector training is not provided by our institute.
