Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to solve problems with solar radiation, photovoltaic (PV) modules and the impact that tilt, location and orientation has on the output of a PV system.It includes providing known solutions to predictable problems in photovoltaic energy modules and system operated at extra-low voltage (ELV) and low voltage (LV).The skills and knowledge described in this unit do not require a license to practice in the workplace provided equipment is not connected to installation wiring at voltages above 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.). However, other conditions may apply in some states/territories subject to regulations related to electrical work.No other licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Note: Those holding an Unrestricted Electrician's Licence or equivalent issued in an Australian state or territory meet the prerequisite requirements of this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to work on PV energy apparatus and systems
- 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are obtained and applied
- 1.2 Hazards are identified, risks are assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented
- 1.3 Nature of apparatus/modules problem/s are identified from relevant documentation or work supervisor to determine the scope of work to be undertaken
- 1.4 Advice is sought from work supervisor to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others
- 1.5 Materials required for the work are identified and accessed in accordance with workplace procedures
- 1.6 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed for the work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety in accordance with workplace procedures
2 Solve problems in PV energy apparatus and systems
