Site Survey for Stand Alone Power Systems

$495.00

The Site Survey for Stand Alone Power Systems is a comprehensive short course designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge needed to conduct effective solar site surveys for Stand Alone Power Systems (SAPS). This course is tailored for professionals in the renewable energy industry, including engineers, technicians, and project managers, who are involved in the planning and implementation of solar energy projects. This course covers the Nationally Recognised Training unit of competency UEERE0055 Conduct Site Survey for Off-Grid Photovoltaic/Generating Set Systems.

During the course, participants will delve into the key principles and practices of site surveying, focusing on the specific requirements of Stand Alone Power Systems. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including load analysis, solar irradiance assessment, shading analysis, system sizing, and different equipment integration considerations.

This unit of competency is included withing the Stand Alone Power Systems accreditation courses. If you are enrolling in one of our Design & Install, Design Only or Install Only courses, do not enrol separately into this course – it will be added automatically to your order at no cost.

GSES is a Nationally Recognised Registered Training Organisation (RTO Code 91461), and students who successfully complete all components of the course will receive a Statement of Attainment for the unit of competency UEERE0055 Conduct Site Survey for Off-Grid Photovoltaic/Generating Set Systems.

Please read the essential Course Information and Policies before purchasing this course.

Prerequisites

This course does not have any formal prerequisites, although it’s still beneficial to have the following skills:

Recommended Prerequisites:

  1. Basic Understanding of Renewable Energy: While not mandatory, a foundational knowledge of renewable energy concepts, including solar power generation and energy storage, can help participants grasp the course content more effectively.
  2. Background in Engineering or Related Field: Participants with a background in engineering, physics, environmental science, or a related field may find it easier to comprehend the technical aspects covered in the course.
  3. Familiarity with Electrical Concepts: An understanding of basic electrical concepts, such as voltage, current, resistance, and circuit diagrams, can be advantageous when discussing solar system components and connections.
  4. Mathematics Proficiency: Basic maths skills, including algebra and geometry, are useful for calculations related to system sizing, energy production estimations, and orientation optimization.
  5. Computer Literacy: Participants should be comfortable using computers, browsing the internet, and interacting with online learning platforms. This ensures a smooth experience while accessing course materials and engaging in discussions.
  6. Critical Thinking Skills: Problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically are essential for analysing site conditions, identifying shading issues, and making informed decisions during the site survey process.

Cancellation and Refunds

Cancellation of online training courses will be subject to the following conditions:

  • If the student’s Learning, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) levels are determined by GSES to be below the standard required to complete the coursework successfully, and the student has not yet submitted coursework for assessment, GSES may offer a full refund of the online course material and practical training component. If the student then opts to continue with the course, the standard cancellation and refund policy applies.
  • Cancellation of online training courses made within fourteen (14) days of the date of payment AND before the online course has been accessed: the student will receive a full refund of the online course payment.
  • Cancellation of online training courses made within fourteen (14) days of the date of payment AND after the online course has been accessed AND before any coursework has been submitted for assessment: the student will receive a refund of the online course payment less a cancellation fee of $440, unless the value of the course is lower than this, in which case the student will receive no refund.
  • Cancellation more than fourteen (14) days after the date of payment OR after the first coursework is submitted for assessment (whichever occurs first): the student will receive no refund.
