Solar panel installation course?

[HappyHippyDad]

I would like to learn more about solar panel installations, with a view to fitting them.

I cant find any in the Gloucester/Stroud area but have found 'The Focus Training Group' that run a 5 day course in Bristol. Has anyone done this course with them, or heard anything about them?

Any suggestions with regards learning about solar panels, inverters, feeding into the grid etc? Or ways to learn about them?

I did the BPEC course at gre energy training in Chesterfield last year. Learned loads and just waiting to get MCS sign off at the moment. Had loads of enquiries about solar in the meantime, seems like getting it has crossed a lot of people's minds with bills as they are

Brilliant thank you! Could you tell me how long the course was please, and how much? My local training centre is offering a 2 day course for £400 but it doesn't seem long enough

Think it was 4 days and cost about a grand. That particular course was battery storage too, went into a lot of detail on the battery side of things. The tutor still ran his business doing solar installs so was very knowledgeable on it all and had good info about manufacturers etc.
