As electricity bills continue to rise, many more people are looking for ways to generate their own power. Solar photovoltaics (PV) is the most popular choice for domestic electricity generation – in the first six months of 2022, there was an 80% increase in home PV installations.
The cost of panels has reduced dramatically over the last 10 years (by as much as 80%), which, when combined with sky-high bills, makes the return on investment much quicker and more attractive. The addition of battery storage will see a system pay for itself in an even faster timeframe.
Overall, solar panels provide certainty of power, less reliance on the grid and shield end-users from fluctuating electricity prices.
The LCL Awards Level 3 Qualification in the Installation & Maintenance of Small Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems, covers both the practical and theory elements needed to safely and effectively fit this popular renewable technology.
The course is recognised by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) – successful candidates can use it towards gaining MCS accreditation. An MCS certified system will give customers peace of mind, is a pre-requisite of any grants that may be available and will help end-users achieve the best export tariffs for power returned to the grid.
The most efficient solar pv systems incorporate a battery to store excess energy and provide renewable power even when the sun isn’t shining. We also deliver the LCL Awards Level 3 Qualification in the Design, Installation & Commissioning of Electrical Energy Storage Systems.
Training takes place in the classroom and on purpose-built rigs, including roof mounting kits and work on ‘live’ equipment. The course culminates in both a practical and written assessment.
The course is designed for experienced electrical operatives who must have the following qualifications:
- 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS7671:2018)
- Level 3 Electrotechnical Qualification (S/NVQ) (or equivalent)
- Level 3 qualification in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations,
or
- Be a member of recognised competent persons scheme (CPS) as a Qualified Supervisor having met the requirements of the electrotechnical assessment specification (EAS).
If you are already working as an electrician and want to take advantage of the growing demand for solar photovoltaics, then, yes!
The course covers the installation, commissioning and maintenance of small-scale domestic solar PV systems, including the following areas:
- Health & Safety
- All relevant regulations and standards
- The difference between AC and DC circuits
- Solar PV system and component installation
