Develop the skills to design and install battery energy storage systems
The Level 3 Award in the Design, Installation and Commissioning of Small Electrical Energy Storage Systems is designed for qualified electricians who wish to develop the specialist knowledge and practical skills required to work with battery energy storage technologies. As the demand for renewable energy solutions continues to increase, energy storage systems are becoming an essential part of modern electrical installations. This qualification provides learners with the knowledge needed to design, install, commission, and maintain small-scale electrical energy storage systems safely and effectively. It is ideal for electricians looking to expand their services, meet growing customer demand, and develop expertise in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the electrical industry.
Course units
This course covers the principles, design considerations, installation requirements, commissioning procedures, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and fault diagnosis of small electrical energy storage systems. Learners will explore battery technologies, system components, safety requirements, relevant legislation and standards, integration with renewable energy systems, and best practice for energy storage installations. The programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application to ensure learners can confidently work with energy storage systems in real-world environments.
What next?
Successful learners can progress into specialist roles within the renewable energy and low-carbon technology sectors. The qualification complements other renewable technologies such as Solar PV and Electric Vehicle Charging and allows electricians to offer complete energy management solutions to domestic and commercial customers. It also provides an excellent foundation for further professional development in emerging energy technologies.
