What is a stand alone power system design & install course?

This course is designed for electricians who have an unrestricted electrical license and wish to further improve their skills by gaining a qualification in stand alone power systems design and install.

What are stand alone power systems?

Stand Alone Power Systems (SPS) generate electricity to charge batteries in the daytime. This electricity can then be used during the night when the sun is not available for power. SPS is a form of sustainable energy that utilises rechargeable batteries as a power storage system.

What is the GSEs stand alone power systems design & install course?

The GSES Stand Alone Power Systems Design & Install course consists of two main components: Online theory completed at students’ own pace with tutor support. A face-to-face (3 days) practical component held at a GSES Training Facility. Practical sessions for this course are held at least twice per year in Western Sydney.

What is a stand-alone system?

What makes a stand-alone power system successful?

Successful stand-alone systems generally take advantage of a combination of techniques and technologies to generate reliable power, reduce costs, and minimize inconvenience. Some of these strategies include using fossil fuel or renewable hybrid systems and reducing the amount of electricity required to meet your needs.
