Consumers are seeking environmentally friendly power solutions for commercial and domestic applications and/or charging electric vehicles (EV) and the demand for alternative energy systems such as solar energy to support homes and businesses is growing every day. This means more electricians and workers skilled in the design and installation of grid-connected photovoltaic systems are needed.
Course description
Our industry has responded to the changing needs of renewable energy by updating the training packages for delivered renewable energy workers, and we have released our new Grid Connect course. This course has been designed by experienced solar installers who are SAA accredited and have worked with the Clean Energy Council.
NECA Education & Careers’ Grid Connect course will put you and your business on the front foot and give you the skills and knowledge to become a qualified solar photovoltaic (PV) designer and installer.
What is included?
On successful completion of your training, you will be set to apply for your accreditation with the new Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) body for GCPV Design and Installation.

Course details
This course runs over six days and will provide you with the necessary qualifications to apply for accreditation from Solar Accreditation Australia for the Grid Connect PV Systems accreditation. Please check with SAA on what else is required for your accreditation.
This course includes the following unit competencies:
- UEERE0054 – Conduct site survey for grid-connected photovoltaic and battery storage systems
- UEERE0061 – Design grid-connected photovoltaic power supply systems
- UEERE0080 – Install photovoltaic power conversion equipment to grid
- UEERE0081 – Install photovoltaic systems to power conversion equipment
Which covers design briefs, incorporating schemes for protection of persons and property from dangers of system malfunction, ensuring other safety and performance standards and functional requirements are met and documenting design calculations and criteria. The skills and knowledge required to complete the installation, adjustment and set-up of photovoltaic (PV) power systems and connecting to a supply grid inverter. It encompasses working safely and to installation standards, matching components with that specified for a given location, placing and securing system components accurately, making required circuit connections and completing the necessary installation documentation. And then provide them with the ability to find solutions to predictable problems in photovoltaic energy apparatus and systems operated at extra low voltage and low voltage.
