At ImmerseLearn, we know that properly installed and commissioned energy storage systems are critical for maximizing the performance, safety, and reliability of modern solar energy systems. This course equips learners with the technical expertise and practical confidence to ensure quality outcomes.

Learn battery types, specs, and safety guidelines for correct installation. Configure charging, manage discharge, and ensure ventilation, secure wiring, and fire safety. Maintain proper placement for safe, reliable performance, especially in off-grid or hybrid systems.

Master NEC-compliant labeling for safety and inspection in PV systems. Label panels, disconnects, inverters, and conduits with reflective, hazard-specific signs. Understand labeling’s role in identifying energy sources and disconnection points to ensure compliance and protect all users.

Explore the PV commissioning process from visual inspection to customer orientation. Verify installation, record conditions, perform electrical tests, and confirm device operation. Emphasize documentation and customer training to ensure safe, code-compliant energy production from the start.

Explore the three primary types of charge controllers—PWM, MPPT, and load-diversion—and how they manage energy flow between solar panels and batteries. Learn when to use each controller type for system size, efficiency, and energy management.

Through immersive VR simulations, interact with battery banks, charge controllers, and system commissioning workflows—building hands-on skills for real-world success.

By completing this microcredential, learners will be prepared to safely install energy storage components, perform essential system commissioning tasks, and support optimal energy performance across a wide range of PV projects.
