SELECT has called on its members who work with solar PV (SPV) and electrical energy storage systems (EESS) to take part in a new consultation on the sector.
BSE Skills Ltd – of which SELECT is a leading member – has been contracted to research and develop a suite of technical National Occupational Standards (NOS) for those whose role includes working on the installation and maintenance of SPV and EESS across the UK.
The following draft NOS have been developed by a team of UK industry experts, including employers, trade associations, the union and other key UK stakeholders, to capture the relevant technical competences associated with the role.
• SPV01 – Install assemblies and enclosures for SPV and EESS systems
• SPV02 – Install and connect SPV and EESS systems
• SPV03 – Inspect and test SPV and EESS systems
• SPVO4 – Commission SPV and EESS systems
• SPV05 – Identify and rectify faults in SPV and EESS systems
• SPV06 – Maintain SPV and EESS systems
• SPVO7 – Develop, test and agree project designs for SPV systems
• SPV08 – Develop, test and agree project designs for EESS
As part of the development work, BSE Skills Ltd must consult widely with employers, training providers and other key stakeholders to ensure the new NOS meets the needs of the sector across the UK. SELECT Members are therefore being asked for their input.
Taking part in this important consultation is quick and easy – just follow these three simple steps:
STEP 1: Download and read the document which contains the NOS specifications HERE
STEP 2: Complete the feedback on page 2 by telling BSE Skills:
- Section 1: some basic information about yourself and your organisation
- Section 2: whether the NOS are fit for purpose (FFP) or could be improved (CBI) and what that improvement should be
- Section 3: anything further which is not accommodated elsewhere.
STEP 3: Return the completed Consultation Framework in Microsoft Word to alan.mcdonald7@ntlworld.com by noon on Friday 16 February.
