NOS Mapped Installation & Maintenance of Small Scale Solar PV Systems & Battery Storage (EESS in accordance with the IET code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems)

Summary

With ever increasing energy costs, this is a growing technology in the UK. This 5-day course is recognised by the Microgeneration Certification Schemes (MCS) for those wishing to install PV systems and connect to Battery Storage.

Course details

The course provides the skills and knowledge required, and includes:

  • The requirements of the relevant regulations/ standards relating to practical installation, testing and commissioning activities for solar photovoltaic system installation work
  • The fundamental differences between AC and DC circuits within solar photovoltaic systems
  • The purpose of solar photovoltaic system components
  • The types, silicon characteristics and typical conversion efficiencies of solar photovoltaic modules
  • The fundamental design principles used to design solar photovoltaic system module array size and position requirements
  • Solar photovoltaic system DC and AC circuit installation layouts within the scope of the relevant Engineering Recommendation for grid tied systems
  • Solar photovoltaic system protection techniques and components
  • The requirements to test, commission and handover solar photovoltaic systems
  • How to install solar photovoltaic system components
  • The requirements for the routine inspection, service and maintenance of solar photovoltaic system installations
  • How to diagnose and rectify faults in solar photovoltaic system installations
  • Introduction to EESS (Electrical Energy Storage Systems).
  • Understand different components and architectures involved.
  • EESS applications and operating states.
  • AC vs DC Battery systems.
  • Electrical regulations and standards including the IET Code of Practice and MIS 3012.
  • Safety and planning.
  • Designing, specification, sizing, and installation of an EESS.
