QQI Domestic Solar PV Course

This course will qualify you to register with SEAI as an approved contractor for Solar PV grants. The course qualifies participants at QQI Level 6 in Micro Solar Photovoltaic Systems Implementation. These courses also meet the Department of Agriculture requirement for contractors to register on TAMS Solar PV installers register.

The course trainer Toddy Byrne is one of the foremost experts on Solar Photovoltaic technology in Ireland today. His company Southern Wind and Solar has supplied and installed Solar PV systems nationwide to private and commercial customers along with public sector organisations. Toddy was a also a member of the standards development committee for the development of this QQI accredited course.

Domestic Solar Photovoltaic systems can be financially attractive projects for many electricity consumers due to the systems ability to significantly reduce electricity costs, e.g. a typical domestic Solar PV system can produce 50% of the annual electricity consumption of an Irish home. Furthermore, any surplus electricity generated by the Solar PV system may be exported back to the Grid, thus creating an additional income stream for the consumer.

Therefore the Department of Energy sees PV systems as an essential part of Government energy policy.

It is essential that candidates participating on the Electrical Installation and Commissioning of Microgenerators course will have obtained the appropriate qualifications related to electrical installation, knowledge of the IEE Wiring Regulations and inspection and testing.
