Training Content and Methods
Develop the technical knowledge and hands-on capabilities required to assess, design and install stand-alone solar power systems. ACPD combines flexible online learning with trainer-led practical training using industry-relevant off-grid equipment and realistic installation activities.
Site Survey and Assessment: Evaluate site conditions, available solar resources, installation requirements and system constraints.
Energy-Load Analysis: Assess electricity usage, load profiles and energy requirements to support appropriate system planning.
Stand-Alone System Design: Design off-grid power systems that combine solar generation, battery storage, inverters and backup generation.
Battery-Bank Sizing: Calculate battery-storage requirements based on energy demand, system performance and required autonomy.
Inverter and Equipment Selection: Select appropriately sized inverters, charge controllers, solar components and associated system equipment.
Generator Integration: Plan the appropriate integration of generating sets to provide reliable backup power within stand-alone systems.
Installation Practices: Apply suitable methods for installing off-grid power-conversion equipment and associated electrical components.
Safety and Compliance: Follow relevant workplace safety procedures, Australian Standards, regulations and manufacturer requirements.
Testing and System Verification: Apply appropriate procedures to test, configure, verify and commission completed stand-alone power systems.
Assessment and Feedback: Complete required knowledge and practical assessments with professional guidance and feedback from qualified trainers.
Objectives & Future Pathways
Build specialised capabilities to assess, design and install reliable stand-alone solar and battery systems. This training can help qualified electricians expand their professional services and pursue opportunities in off-grid, remote-area and independent energy applications.
