Grid-connect (GC) accreditation
Grid-connect (GC) power systems also known as on-grid systems are connected to the power grid. This accreditation is provided by College of Climate Change
The on-grid solar power technology operates with the grid supply. The on-grid system consists of solar panels, an inverter.

Why the College of Climate Change
The impact of climate change has become evident. Floods, forest fires, high temperatures, heavy rainfall and other extreme climatic events have increased compared to previous years. Clean energy technologies are the key to combat climate change and electrical professionals have a prominent role in its implementation.
The College of climate change is introducing a series of clean energy technology courses to equip professionals with required competencies. These courses are based on the competency units required by Clean Energy Council Australia to become accredited professionals. Courses are provided in association with our Industry Partner AICA. Electrical professionals such as fully licensed electricians, electrical engineers, electronic engineers and even electrical apprentices can take up these courses.
