Interest in green energy solutions had piqued during lockdowns, but there was still a shortage of talent, which is expected to worsen. The upcoming WA mining boom will compete with the surge in the solar market for the same pool of certified electricians. This is likely to push up the Grid connect PV Solar System with Battery Storage design and install cost and cause interstate migration of skilled workforce.
There are number of providers for Solar Grid Connect PV Design + Install and Battery Storage For Grid-Connected PV Systems (Design & Install) in Western Australia. PMV offers this training in flexible model using online platform with support from Trainer over Zoom.
