Statement of Attainment (SOA)
This Statement is issued to a student who has successfully completed one or more units of competency on meeting the prerequisite requirements.

This competency based training program is delivered face-to-face theory and practical content delivery with a comprehensive notes, ongoing tutor support and a practical design and installation task.

Statement of Attainment provides competencies to undertake design, install, configure, test and commission battery storage systems for grid-connected PV system to AS/NZS 5033:2021. Installation of photovoltaic (PV) arrays and AS/NZS 5139:2019 Electrical Installation – Safety of battery systems for use with power conversion equipment.

After obtaining the Statement of Attainment, the student can apply to the nominated accreditor appointed by the Clean Energy Regulator for Battery Storage for Grid-Connect PV Systems Accreditation.

This course is designed for electricians who have an unrestricted electrical license and wish to further improve their skills by gaining a qualification to design and install battery storage systems for grid-connected PV system.

PRE-REQUISITE

To be awarded a Statement of Attainment, you must hold a current unrestricted electrical license issued by an Australian state or territory and Solar Grid Connect PV Design & Install Statement of Attainment.

You will undergo theory and hands-on practical training with qualified professional Electricians who have been practicing in the battery storage for grid connected PV systems industry for over 20 years. The battery storage systems for grid-connected PV systems 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 System Installation, Maintenance and Trouble Shooting
• Documenting PV system Yield
• Maintenance of Batteries, Inverter and PV Array
• Design grid connected power supply systems and select compatible components

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 system for grid-connected PV 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
