What accreditations/qualifications does a person need to design and install a battery storage system?

 The person doing the design installation needs to be accredited for either:

• Grid-connect installation accreditation with battery endorsement or
• Grid-connect installation accreditation plus stand-alone installation accreditation.

Additionally, the person must have sufficient qualifications for the specific battery type that will be used, e.g. Lithium-ion, flow battery etc.

Finally the person designing the system should have accreditation for the design of battery storage systems.

The designer may be a different person to the installer. They have to literally sign off on the design drawings/documentation.

Note:

Accredited designer – a person who is accredited by the Clean Energy Council to design grid-connected battery storage systems or stand-alone battery storage systems (or both), and holds all relevant qualifications.

Accredited installer – a person who is accredited by the Clean Energy Council to install grid-connected battery storage systems or stand-alone battery storage systems (or both), and holds all relevant qualifications.
