Course participants must demonstrate one of the following prerequisites to enrol in this course:

Statement of Attainment in UEERE0051 – Apply electrical principles to renewable energy design

OR

Unrestricted electrical licence issued by an Australian state or territory

This Course involves two units of study:

UEERE0054 – Conduct site survey for grid-connected photovoltaic and battery storage systems

UEERE0061 –Design grid-connected photovoltaic power supply systems

E-LEARNING ASSESSMENT

The approach to the delivery of this course is one of flexibility and self pace.

Designed for clients who do not have the time to attend lengthy face-to-face courses or personnel who are unable to travel long distances to attend training centres. 

All theory will be completed online

Upon receiving your Statement of Attainment you can apply for accreditation from the Clean Energy Council (CEC) granting access to incentives offered by the Federal Government for solar panel installations.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be issues with a statement of attainment making you eligible to apply for CEC Accreditation for Grid Connected PV Systems Design Only.

The Clean Energy Council is the peak body for the clean energy industry in Australia.

They are a not-for-profit, membership-based organisation. They represent and work with Australia’s leading renewable energy and energy storage businesses, as well as rooftop solar installers, to further the development of clean energy in Australia.

Accreditation with the Clean Energy Council recognises people who have undertaken the necessary training to design and install solar, batteries and other renewable energy systems.

CEC-accredited installers and designers aim to work to industry best practice standards, producing systems that are safe, reliable and meet customer expectations.

Installers can apply for different types of accreditation to reflect the various work and responsibilities that can be encountered in the industry.

Below is a list of all the types of accreditation CEC offers, to help you decide on the type of accreditation that is most suitable to you. The relevant accreditation must be held for government rebate eligibility.

Types of CEC Accreditation:

Accredited individuals with this accreditation can work on solar systems connected to the grid.
