Lithium-ion batteries are rapidly becoming one of the most widely used energy storage technologies in residential, commercial and utility-scale renewable energy systems. As battery storage adoption continues to grow, it is increasingly important for solar industry professionals to understand how lithium-ion batteries work, the risks associated with their operation, and the safety requirements that apply throughout their lifecycle.
This online webinar course is designed for PV designers, installers and renewable energy professionals seeking to develop a foundational understanding of lithium-ion battery technology. Through a structured and practical approach, participants will explore how lithium-ion batteries are constructed, the different battery chemistries used across the industry, and the role of key components such as electrolytes and battery cells.
The course also examines common battery failure mechanisms, associated safety risks, and the requirements for safe battery installation and operation. Consisting of two concise webinar presentations supported by knowledge assessments, this course provides an accessible introduction to one of the fastest-growing technologies in the renewable energy sector.
Here is a quick snapshot of the practical takeaways this course covers:

This course covers BESS installation and maintenance for electricians, technicians, installers, and operators. This course will describe key BESS components, the process and requirements for BESS installation and maintenance, and consider critical safety, electrical, and environmental considerations. Throughout the course, relevant Australian and international standards will be referenced.
The New Home Battery Technologies course covers new developments in energy storage solutions for residents, while also discussing how residents with home batteries can benefit from dynamic energy pricing.
In addition to home batteries, this course explores how emerging technologies like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) are redefining the relationship between residents and the grid.
The Safe Manufacturing and Handling of Lithium-ion Batteries course covers best general safety practices in the context of a battery manufacturing environment. This course is suited to entry-level workers involved in the production or manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries.
This course starts by providing an overview of the manufacturing system before explaining the operation safety controls in place to protect workers. The later sections of the course focus on detection, escalation, and reporting of issues; all of which are undertaken to minimise future risks and make the workplace safer.
