Online Training on Design of Photovoltaic Systems

This training course will provide a sound understanding of the system components for a grid connected photovoltaic system, how to combine these components for the optimum system performance, how to ensure that the installation of the system equipment meets Australian Standards, and to be able to confirm the system yield and performance of the system including:

• Factors that impact on the potential output
• How to design a grid connected PV system
• Plan and execute installation
• Determine yield and performance
• OH&S issues
• Diagnosis of symptoms of common faults

The course is delivered online by our partner Global Sustainable Energy Solutions.  Successful completion of the course  provides registrants with a Certificate of Completion which the Clean Energy Council will include towards awarding Grid Connected PV System Design Accreditation*.
