Course Description

This one-day introductory course offers a practical overview of Solar Photovoltaics (PV), Battery Storage, and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging systems — with a focus on how these technologies can work together to form efficient, smart, low-carbon energy systems for homes and small businesses.

Learners will explore each system individually, and then examine how integrated setups can help reduce energy costs, maximise self-consumption, and support a transition to cleaner energy. The course features real-world examples, case discussions, and expert-led sessions using visuals and group interaction.

Perfect for newcomers to the renewables sector, this course builds foundational understanding for further technical training in solar installation, electrical design, or energy system integration.
