Grid-connected Battery Storage Systems: Design only
Course details
About the course
However, it is essential that electrical workers involved with these systems fully understand the operating theory and safety requirements in order to design safe and effective systems, as well as adequately manage customer expectations.
This is a recommended pre-requisite course for those wanting to design complete standalone (off-grid) systems and builds upon the basic design knowledge provided in Grid- Connected Photovoltaic Systems: Design Only.

Applicants must meet the following entry criteria:
- Professional or Educational Background: Hold a qualification in the electrical/electrical engineering field, or have equivalent industry experience in electrical, renewable energy, or related technical environment (eg. an Electrical Engineer, Electrical Technician, or Technical Solar Salesperson with an electrical background).
- **Electrical Knowledge:**Possess a strong understanding of electrical theory.
- Exclusions:
This course is not suitable for beginners or those with little to no electrical knowledge. Applicants are expected to have a foundational understanding of electrical systems – therefore this course is not suitable for those with little to no prior knowledge in this area.
Pre-requisite:
- Completion of the Grid-Connected PV Systems: Design Only or Grid-Connected PV Systems: Design and Installation is a pre-requisite for this course.
(Note: live testing etc will only be carried out by a licenced electrician and participants will interpret those results)
