Course Objectives

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to install and commission a photovoltaic (PV) power system to power conversion equipment (PCE).

It includes working safely to industry installation standards, matching PV components specified for a given location, placing and securing system components accurately, making required circuit connections and completing the necessary installation documentation.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations, which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.).

Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, is required.

Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.

Note: Those holding an Unrestricted Electricianâ??s Licence or equivalent issued in an Australian state or territory meet the prerequisite requirements of UEEEL0012 Install low voltage wiring, appliances, switchgear and associated accessories. All other prerequisite requirements must be met.
