Combined Solar PV and Electrical Energy Storage Systems Programme // EAL 600/5175/9 + EAL 610/2091/6 | Two Level 3 Awards

Build an integrated low-carbon skill set covering small-scale solar photovoltaic systems and electrical energy storage systems through two recognised EAL Level 3 awards.

Solar PV

This course is ideal for

  • Competent electricians moving into renewable technologies
  • Electrical contractors offering integrated solar and battery solutions
  • Domestic Electricians with suitable core competence
  • Solar PV installers adding battery-storage capability
  • Electricians supporting domestic or small commercial low-carbon projects
  • Employers developing solar PV and EESS capability within their workforce

Course Overview

This combined programme brings together two complementary EAL Level 3 qualifications for competent
electricians:
 EAL Level 3 Award in the Installation of Small Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems – 600/5175/9
 EAL Level 3 Award in the Design, Installation and Commissioning of Electrical Energy Storage Systems
– 610/2091/6

Learners develop the knowledge and practical skills associated with installing and commissioning small- scale solar PV systems, then extend their capability into the design, specification, installation and
commissioning of electrical energy storage systems, typically in dwellings.

Training is delivered at CBWA’s purpose-built electrical training centre in Coventry by industry- experienced electrical and low-carbon technology tutors.

Programme Description

 The programme provides a structured route through two closely related technologies. The Solar PV award covers the installation, inspection, testing, commissioning and handover of small-scale photovoltaic systems. The EESS award covers the design, specification, installation, inspection, testing, commissioning and handover of electrical energy storage systems.

Together, the awards help qualified electricians understand how generation and storage technologies operate individually and as part of an integrated installation. Training addresses system selection, electrical design, safe installation, protection, testing, documentation, customer handover and relevant industry guidance.

Both awards are specialist upskilling qualifications. Candidates must already possess suitable core
electrotechnical competence before registration.
