Microgrids are increasingly recognised and valued by network providers and policy makers. This course introduces PV designers and installers to microgrids, covering their operation and mechanics, identifying key regulatory implications, and proposing practical pathways to microgrid implementation for renewable energy industry participants.
The course equips participants with a strong understanding of microgrids and associated technologies, providing the knowledge and skills needed to take part in projects involving the design and management of microgrids that can improve energy access, resilience, and sustainability in communities and industries around the world. It’s relevant for installers, engineers, project developers, homeowners, site managers, and other non-technical people connected with the industry who want to acquaint themselves with the operation, mechanics, and regulatory framework of microgrids. This course is eligible for 20 CPD points with the Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA), valid until 1 December 2026.
