Aims & Objectives
Hands-on training
Our 5-day System Designer's Course covers off-grid (stand alone) power systems only (ie a battery-based system) and does not focus on the aspects of 'Grid Feed Systems'.
This fast-paced course is for tradespeople / technicians / engineers / consultants who already have a solid background in electricity/electronics.
Please note that the Clean Energy Council has decided that this course is NO LONGER sufficient to gain industry accreditation. You are now required to do a TAFE or Uni based course to gain accreditation.
The Training Course for System Designers is held at the Rainbow Power Company's premises.
