This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply electrical principles to renewable energy design.

It includes: working safely; determining the extent and nature of the installation; applying regulation/legislation, industry standards, and codes; reading and interpreting drawings; identifying expertise required for design and installation; calculating cabling, isolation and protection devices; verifying compliance of equipment selected; and completing necessary documentation and record keeping.

This unit supports individuals other than electricians from other electrotechnology disciplines or education pathways to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to undertake the design of renewable energy systems.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
