This training will give you the skills and knowledge to become a solar photovoltaic (PV) designer and installer or a battery designer and installer – and can lead to Clean Energy Council accreditation.
The course includes training for those who are already accredited solar designers and installers, and additional training for those who require battery accreditation.
