SEANZ has introduced a competency based accreditation program for designers and installers of small scale renewable energy systems. The program is designed to enable industry practitioners to demonstrate to potential employers and consumers that they are competent.

Accreditation will be achieved by obtaining recognised industry qualifications and submitting case studies of completed work.

The accreditation scheme will be administered by SEANZ with training provided by independent training organisations.

Accreditation categories

Accreditation can be obtained for stand alone power systems or grid connect systems for design and/or installation. Accreditation in both grid connect and SPS can be gained

*As the installation of grid connect systems involves prescribed electrical work only registered electricians may obtain grid connect installation accreditation

Endorsements can be obtained in micro wind, micro hydro and hybrid systems
