This 1 day Battery Storage Systems Course is aimed at Electrical Installers who install systems that can benefit from battery storage systems to enable power to stored for later use.
With the changes in the PV tariffs, customers are going to be looking at other ways to reap extra returns from their PV Energy Systems.
Installers now have a golden opportunity to revisit past installs and advise clients on maximising the potential returns on their Solar PV System in the summer months and purchasing cheaper off peak electricity in the winter.
