In accordance with the Australian Quality Framework, Smart Solar Training is fully committed to ensuring quality education for all students. We make sure the course process is:
- Fair
- Flexible
- Reliable
- Valid
Smart Solar Training does not offer recognition of prior learning for candidates as Solar Accreditation Australia, the national accreditation scheme operator does not recognise RPL’d candidate records. Additionally, our organisation does not offer entry-level VET sector training.
Students can choose between options of an online e-Book or a printed copy of the publication Stand-Alone Power Systems Design and Installation 8th Edition as part of enrolment; if a student wants a printed hard copy they must pay an additional fee for printing and shipping the textbook. Students are responsible for obtaining current copies of the following Australian Standards, available for purchase from the SAI Global website or Techstreet website, and also available from some libraries, institutions and industry associations:
- AS/NZS 5033 – Photovoltaic arrays
- AS/NZS 4777.1 – Grid connection of energy systems via inverters
- AS/NZS 4509.1 – Stand Alone Power Systems – Safety and installation
- AS/NZS 4509.2 – Stand Alone Power Systems – System design
- AS/NZS 5139 – Electrical installations – Safety of battery systems for use with power conversion equipment
- AS/NZS 3010 – Electrical installations – Generating sets
- AS/NZS 3000 – Wiring Rules
- AS/NZS 3008.1.1 – Electrical installations – Selection of cables
-
Successful completion will result in the award of a Statement of Attainment in the current version of the following Units of Competency:
- UEERE0055 – Conduct site survey for off-grid photovoltaic/generating set systems
- UEERE0078 – Install battery storage to power conversion equipment
- UEERE0079 – Install off-grid power conversion equipment to electrical installation
- UEERE0081 – Install photovoltaic systems to power conversion equipment
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be eligible to apply to the Solar Accreditation Australia for the Installation of Stand-alone Power Systems accreditation.

This course is designed for electricians who wish to further their skills by gaining an accreditation to design and install stand-alone power systems (not grid-connected photovoltaic systems). The delivery mode of this course is designed for busy tradespeople who do not have the time to attend lengthy face-to-face courses to expand their knowledge and skills: the fully flexible web-based format of the online component allows students to complete the theory in their own time with ongoing tutor support.
The course is nominally 250 hours of training, including the online assessments, design task and practical components, but students may take more or less time to complete the course. Courses are valid for twelve (12) months. Extension fees apply from the date of expiry, and the maximum extension permitted is six (6) months from the date of expiry.
Practical component: A majority of the online assessments must be completed before booking the face-to-face practical components. The confirmed date for the practical component is only available once a student has completed the necessary online assessments, used the online link to select a date, and received a confirmation email from SST. Practicals are held at SST, and scheduled dates for the Fast Track course can be viewed here. Please contact the office directly for practical dates for the Full Course and GCPV Accredited variants. Note that dates are subject to minimum and maximum numbers, and places cannot be guaranteed until the necessary amount of online work is completed.
An electrical licence is a prerequisite for enrolment in this course. Electrical apprentices may enrol in this course, however they will need to wait till they are issued their unrestricted licence before being awarded a Statement of Attainment OR show they have completed the prerequisite Units of Competency in their studies already:
