LCL L3 in the Design, Installation and Commissioning of Electrical Energy Storage Systems & LCL L3 in the Installation and Maintenance of Small Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems
The Solar Futures Study finds that solar energy could power about 14% of transport by 2050! So, if you’re an electrician looking to help people harness and store the power of the sun, to create a more sustainable future, this industry recognised qualification is for you. Upon completion, you’ll be qualified in electrical installation in the renewable energy sector. This allows you to join a Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) or Green Deal Registration, boosting your credibility. The Energy Storage & Solar PV Course involves both practical and classroom learning over a period of 5 days. It combines the two following courses at a 10% bundle discount (£108 cheaper than buying separately!): - LCL Awards Level 3 Award in the Maintenance and Installation of Small Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems (IMSSSPV-22) - LCL Awards Level 3 Award in the Design, Installation and Commissioning of Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) courses (LCL-E3010)

This course is aimed at practicing electricians who hold a Level 3 qualification in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations and up to date with the latest 18th Edition Wiring Regulations. However, recognition of prior learning can be considered for those who do not hold the above certificates. Evidence of experience must be provided, and you may be required to do a skill scan to assess suitability.
You must be aged 18 years old or above to attend this course.
If you are unsure about your suitability, please contact our friendly training department using the contact form below.
Investing in your professional development shows commitment and dedication to producing high quality work. Additionally, this course allows you to join a Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) or Green Deal Registration, further boosting your credibility in the electrical industry.
Demand for solar technicians is already rising, with hiring platform Indeed reporting a 315 per cent increase in demand for installers from 2020 to 2023. This course allows you to be part of the growing renewables sector, at a time when you're most needed by employers and/or clients!

Unlike the BPEC version of this course, your IMSSSPV-22 or LCL-E3010 qualifications are one-off qualifications. That means no more time needed to book off work once you're done, and no more money required to renew your qualification every few years. That's a great return on investment!

Solar photovoltaic panels (or simply ‘Solar PV’) consist of cells made of semi-conducting materials - most commonly silicon. The panels capture light from the sun and convert it into DC electricity.
However, household appliances use alternating current (AC), a different type of electricity. So, an inverter is installed along with solar, to convert DC electricity to usable AC.
Only then can this electricity be used to power anything electrical in the building, from mains power to plugged-in appliances.
This is one of the main reasons why it makes so much sense to qualify in both solar PV and energy storage - they work best when implemented side by side!
