Enrolments are now closed. Since 2022, over 600 electricians and fourth-year apprentices have completed this training.
Further details on pathways for solar PV and battery training is available through Solar Accreditation Australia.
This fully subsidised solar and battery training provided eligible electricians and fourth-year electrical apprentices with the skills and knowledge to become:
- a qualified solar photovoltaic (PV) designer and installer; or
- a battery storage system (BSS) designer and installer.
It also led to becoming accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia.
