Update your knowledge of current solar and battery standards<\/h2>\n

Includes AS\/NZS 5139:2019 + Amendment No.1<\/strong>, AS\/NZS 5033:2021<\/strong> and AS\/NZS 4777.1:2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Live Interactive Online Training<\/h3>\n

Two 4-hour sessions<\/p>\n

\n

Course Description<\/h2>\n

This live online course consists of two four-hour interactive sessions designed to provide participants with a clear, practical understanding of the key safety and installation standards governing solar PV and battery energy storage systems.<\/p>\n

The course covers the application and interaction of AS\/NZS 5139<\/strong>, AS\/NZS 5033<\/strong> and AS\/NZS 4777.1<\/strong>, explaining what has changed, why it has changed, and how this affects system design, installation, inspection and certification in Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Strong emphasis is placed on:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Correct interpretation of each standard<\/li>\n
  • Understanding where standards overlap or conflict<\/li>\n
  • Applying requirements in real-world installations<\/li>\n
  • Avoiding common compliance errors seen in the field<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Participants will gain a structured understanding of how PV arrays, inverters and battery systems integrate into a compliant electrical installation, including their relationship with the Wiring Rules, product compliance frameworks and regulatory enforcement.<\/p>\n

    The training is suitable for designers, electricians, inspectors, engineers, technical support staff, educators and regulators involved in grid-connected, hybrid and off-grid systems.<\/p>\n
