• Know the requirements to install, commission and handover small scale solar photovoltaic systems.
• Know the requirements to inspect, service and maintain small scale solar photovoltaic systems.
• Know the key requirements for installation of electrical energy storage systems
• Know and identify equipment, arrangements and operating modes of electrical energy storage systems.
• Understand the preparation of design and installation of electrical energy storage systems.
• Understand requirements for initial verification and handover of electrical energy storage systems.
• Be able to conduct initial verification and handover of electrical energy storage systems.

The aim of this course is to equip delegates with the knowledge and skills needed to install and maintain small-scale grid tied photovoltaic systems and then to be able to design, install and commission electrical energy storage systems. This course gives delegates a MCS accreditation which is recognised by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. This course has been designed in conjunction with the latest IET Code of Practice.

This course allows delegates to apply their knowledge and skills learnt according to generic industry practices.

Please note this course is not manufacturer specific.

We can offer the Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Small-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems- LCL Awards or the Level 3 Award in the Design, Installation and Commissioning of Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) as stand-alone courses should you not require the combined course.

Delegates successfully completing the course will receive an LCL Awards Level 3 Certificate.
