This Solar PV & Storage Surveying training has been specifically designed for individuals and companies that want to train themselves or their staff on exactly how to carry out Solar PV & Battery Storage Site Surveys, as well as increase their overall knowledge of Solar Systems.

The Course will provide learners with an in-depth analysis of the most important components of solar surveying, whilst also providing the leaner with the opportunity to develop a robust surveying process & the confidence to apply these principles in the real world.

Each topic will be broken down into 3 main parts:

  • What you need to know

  • Why you need to know it

  • How to apply it on site whilst completing site assessments.

As the course has been designed by industry experts with over 1000 survey’s worth of experience, the course goes beyond just providing information on the day. Learners will be given a full, digital surveying process, as well as supporting documents to take away to refer back to when completing surveys.

Not only will you receive supporting documents to take away, attendees will also receive free access to Building Metrix ‘Knowledge Vault’, which contains documents & videos explaining key features & updates on changes with the solar industry, as well as providing surveys access to forums/chats to share ideas & have industry discussions with likeminded surveyors.
