Solar PVs in Social Housing: Compliance, Maintenance & the Role of the Regulator
£321.00
An Overview of Solar PVs Systems in Social Housing
Solar Panels and their presence in UK Housing Infrastructure are relatively new and are subject to specific legislation. The Solar PVs in Social Housing: Compliance, Maintenance & the Role of the Regulator 1-day course contains all the information necessary for housing associations and members of local authorities to comply with relevant regulations, including within the context of the ‘Golden Thread of Information’.
The course itself is broken down into several modules, exploring the implementation of Solar PVs in Social Housing: Compliance, Maintenance & the Role of the Regulator alongside building safety codes, accountable roles, asset management and ongoing compliance in social housing. Alongside the systems themselves, the course will also inform you on battery storage, identifying and maintaining photovoltaic panels, battery inverters, and alternatives such as solar thermal panels, which typically generate heat for domestic hot water usage.
Gain the ability to align your works with overall governance, including G1, V1, C1, and give your team the capabilities to understand the various solar panel systems, their intricacies, and what to look for to determine faults – alongside how to maintain and repair solar panel systems and solar panel system alternatives, how often to do so, and how to do so in the correct way.
