Generating, transmitting and distributing electricity calls for as much technical skill as documentary rigour. Decentralised solar opens a further, newer field, where local installation and maintenance matter more than the size of the works.

The field, in plain terms

Generating, transmitting and distributing electricity calls for as much technical skill as documentary rigour. Decentralised solar opens a further, newer field, where local installation and maintenance matter more than the size of the works.

  • Operating and monitoring generation plants
  • Maintaining transmission and distribution networks
  • Installing and servicing solar and storage systems
  • Consumption metering, readings and fault handling
  • Electrical safety and intervention lock-out records

Who works there, and on what

Electrical engineering travels everywhere: the same foundation serves an industrial site, a distribution network and a village solar installation.

Each corresponds to a professional qualification in the filed catalogue.

What you want to know

Is solar covered like everything else?

It is covered as an application of electrical engineering: sizing, installation, protection, storage, maintenance. The same foundation as a network, applied to a standalone installation.

What entry level is expected?

Comfort with basic physical quantities and arithmetic is enough to start. The technical vocabulary is acquired in the first block, which is designed for that.

Can I combine this with a job?

Yes. The pace is chosen at enrolment, and the real weekly workload is stated on every programme page before you commit.
