Electrical Review Logo

 

Opening its doors from the 26-28 October, Solar Power UK will give electricians, roofers and construction professionals the chance to assess all the opportunities of the UK solar sector under one roof.

 

Solar PV installation is vastly becoming an attractive opportunity for electricians in the UK. With such an array of information, training options and regulations to consider, making decisions can be daunting. Similarly, those newly equipped with MCS need clarity and direction to maximise the opportunities attached to their new qualification.

Solar Power UK 2011’s extensive three-day programme will provide professional advice from leading technical training providers, PV companies and suppliers to help attendees better understand the benefits of the UK’s growing solar sector.

Taking it back to basics
On day one of the main conference, Solar Power UK will launch the PV School, which will run two classes throughout the afternoon. Aimed at helping electricians, roofers and construction professionals make sense of this burgeoning new industry, the school will split out into sessions 101 and 201.

PV School 101 will offer an insight into MCS, providing information on the ins and outs of MCS, including the topics, knowledge and expected experience. Session 101 will help tile the gap between the electrician trade and the photovoltaics industry.

PV school 201 will take things a step further, exploring which technology choices are best, how to monitor, maintain and safely operate systems. This session will further assist electricians in growing a viable installation business, equipping installers with that desirable competitive advantage.

With over 30 leading solar representatives speaking at the industry-renowned event, the main conference programme will cover topics such as technology advancements, industry growth, and an exclusive first look at new Inverter connection and MCS protocols that will be implemented in the market over the coming six months.

The conference allows attendees to explore the ins and outs of photovoltaic products and focus on the key ingredients – such as pricing, quality and availability – for the production and installation of a successful PV system. Business owners can also discover the support services required to help their solar business function effectively and gain a deeper understanding of world-wide solar installation trends to identify new markets.

Tickets are now available and are sold on a first come, first served basis. To view more specific information or to register for the event, visit the website at http://www.solarpowerukevents.org/products/list/
