The aim of this course is to equip delegates with the knowledge and skills needed to safely and effectively, install and maintain, small-scale solar photovoltaic installations. This course covers both the practical and theory elements of training and gives delegates a MCS accreditation which is recognised by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. This scheme demonstrates that delegates are able to install and maintain Solar PV installations to the industry-expected standards.
We can also provide training for delegates wishing to gain qualifications in Solar PV and Electrical Energy Storage Systems course.
