olci do a PV course

 

[harrythreaders]

olci you'll also need, Part P and 17th edition ifyournot a sparky already, its worth getting a roofer to fit the panels and you do the connections to the circuit. Fitting the panels is the worst/trickest part.

 

[steptoe]

ensuring it is safe and giving the proper return on investment is the hard part,

anyone can screw a few brackets on a roof, IMHO.

 

[binky]

Certainly can. I roped in a builder friend to help with the roofing side and once he got the concept the roof brackets flew in!! Care with the cabling is important, and sizing array to inverter is critical to make the system work properly.

Not sure where u are based but heard that Bracknell & Wokingham College are running "An Introduction to PV" courses for electricians, you may want to get in touch with them. Hope it helps.

Designing the most effecient system is the key, ensuring you don't make false promises!
