• 4 – 5 Days

Delivered at one of PMV’s national training centre (Perth) or at a client’s facility

Successful completion will result in the award of a Statement of Attainment in the current version of the following Units of Competency:

Battery Units

• UEERE4001 – Install, maintain and fault find battery storage systems for grid connected photovoltaic
  systems
• UEERE5001 – Design battery storage systems for grid-connected photovoltaic systems

SPS Units

• UEERE0025 – Carry out basic repairs to renewable energy (RE) apparatus
• UEERE0022 – Solve basic problems in photovoltaic energy apparatus and systems
• UEERE0046 – Solve problems in stand-alone renewable energy (RE) systems
• UEERE0035 – Install ELV stand-alone photovoltaic power systems
• UEERE0031 – Design stand-alone renewable energy (RE) systems

This competency-based training program is delivered and assessed by
A) Face-to-face or remote option available for theoretical content; and
B) Hands on practical experience for installation of two grid-connected PV battery storage install and fault
finding: and
C) Design task to be completed for grid-connected PV solar leads acid and lithium-ion batteries options.

This course is designed for electricians who have an electrician’s qualification and wish to further improve their skills by gaining a qualification to design and install battery storage systems for grid-connected PV system and standalone power system.

PRE-REQUISITE

To be awarded a Statement of Attainment, you must have completed Solar Grid Connect PV – Design &
Install and hold a current unrestricted electrical license issued by an Australian state or territory and OR
refer to the CEC for units which need to be completed in lieu of a license:

https://www.cleanenergycouncil.org.au/industry/installers/accreditation-process

Electrical apprentices may enrol in this course; however, they will need to show they have completed the above units in their studies already OR wait till they are issued their unrestricted license before being awarded a Statement of Attainment.

Students will need to have access to the AS/NZS 3100:2009, AS/NZS 3598.1:2014, AS/NZS 4509.1:2009,
AS/NZS 4777.1:2016, AS/NZS 5033:2018 and AS/NZS 5139:2019 standard to successfully complete this
course (and for work in the field). This can be purchased from the SAI Global website and is available at
some local libraries.

You will undergo theory and hands-on practical training with qualified professional Electricians who have been practicing in the battery storage and SPS systems industry for over 20 years. The course covers the following topics:

• Grid-Connected PV Systems Components Safety
• Selecting and Sizing the Specified Loads
• Assessing the Switchboard
• Configurations of PV Grid-Connect System with Battery Storage
• Permitted Battery and Grid Interaction and offsetting Peak Load
• Battery Basics and Working with Batteries
• Secondary Battery Technologies
• Selecting and Sizing the Battery Storage and PV Array Sizing System Drivers and System Constraints
• Solar Controller and Selecting, Sizing and Programming Inverters Balance of System Design
• Wiring standards, Cable Sizing, Circuit Protection
• Sizing Main Battery Fuses and Battery Isolation and Selection
• Controller Protection, Battery Enclosure and System Wiring
• Documenting System Efficiency and Effect of Battery Storage
• Documenting PV system Yield
• Documenting System Installation, Maintenance and Trouble Shooting
• Maintenance of Batteries, Inverter and PV Array
• Design grid connected power supply systems and select compatible components
• Analyse information, create tailored solutions for clients and communicate these solutions to others A written design project is to be completed on the completion of theory assessment

Blended delivery of 60% theory and 40% practical training what you are likely to see in a typical battery
storage and SPS system

Face to Face or remote flexible delivery and assessments allows students understand and discuss the
vital knowledge prior to participating in the practical component.

PMV trainers marks the assessments and provides feedback or additional technical information to the
students.

Intensive hands-on installation, fault finding and regulatory requirements experience
