Units

UEERE0054, UEERE0060, UEERE0077, and UEERE0078.

The Battery Storage Systems for Grid-Connected PV Systems: Design and Install Course consists of two main components:
  1. Online theory completed at students’ own pace with tutor support.
  2. A Online + Classroom (2 days) practical component held at an Energy Training Group Training Facility.
The delivery mode of this course is designed for busy tradespeople who do not have the time to attend lengthy Online + Classroom courses to expand their knowledge and skills, the fully flexible online component allows students to complete the theory in their own time. Students who successfully complete all components of the course will receive a Statement of Attainment for the units of competency UEERE0054, UEERE0060, UEERE0077, and UEERE0078.

Training Outcome

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

UEERE0054
Conduct site survey for grid-connected photovoltaic and battery storage systems
UEERE0060
Design grid-connected battery storage systems
UEERE0077
Install battery storage equipment power conversion equipment to grid
UEERE0078
Install battery storage to power conversion equipment
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be eligible to apply to the Solar Accreditation Australia for the Design & Installation of Battery Storage accreditation.

An unrestricted electrical licence issued by an Australian state or territory is a prerequisite for enrolment in this course. Electrical apprentices may enrol in this course, however they will need to wait till until they are issued their unrestricted licence before being awarded a Statement of Attainment OR show they have completed the prerequisite Units of Competency in their studies already:

One of:

    • UEEEL0039 Design, install and verify compliance and functionality of general electrical installations
    • UEERE0051 Apply electrical principles to renewable energy design
    • UEEEL0012 Install low voltage wiring, appliances, switchgear and associated accessories

This course builds on the knowledge of the Grid-Connected PV Systems Design and Install course, so a prerequisite for enrolment is a Statement of Attainment in the following Unit of Competency:

  • UEERE0061: Design grid-connected photovoltaic power supply systems

If a student does not have a Statement of Attainment in UEERE0061 but does have a Statement of Attainment in any of the following superseded Units of Competency, they will be enrolled in gap assessment for UEERE0061

    • UEENEEK135A: Design grid connected photovoltaic power supply systems
    • UEENEEK035C: Design grid connected power supply systems
    • UEENEEK035B: Design grid connected power supply systems

    This course uses two delivery methods:

    • Online theory completed at students’ own pace with the assistance of a tutor.
    • 2-day practical component held at the Training Facility of Energy Training Group.

    Online component: The time to complete the online component will differ between students, but students should expect to commit around 84 hours (60 hours for online content and assessments, and 24 hours for the design task).

    Practical sessions: Approximately 60% of the online assessments must be completed before attending the face-to-face practical component.

    Courses are valid for twelve (12) months. Extension fees apply from the date of expiry, and the maximum extension permitted is six (6) months from the date of expiry.

    Students can  buy the book from SAI Global website or the Techstreet website. For your information, the book is also available for reading in some libraries, institutions, and industry associations in Australia:
