Course Description

The Solar battery storage course allows students to attain the Australian Clean Energy Council (CEC) accreditation in solar battery storage. To become endorsed to install grid-connected battery storage, accreditation you must also hold the design and install of grid-connected (GC) photovoltaic systems certification.

Changes to requirements for installing battery storage

• New battery storage training units have now been endorsed, meaning that the requirements to be able to install and/or supervise battery storage have changed.
• The CEC is implementing a transition period to allow people a reasonable amount of time to complete the new training while still being able to install these systems.
• The Volt Edge is designed to allow the user to apply for CEC accreditation and install and maintain battery storage systems to Grid connected or stand-alone of grid networks.

How does this affect you?

• If you have completed or are applying for Grid-connect Accreditation and Stand-alone Power Systems Accreditation under the draft training units, you will need to have completed the new training units by 1 April 2019 to continue installing grid-connected systems with battery storage.
