Technical Solar Training with Sandy Atkins (ESV) – Part Two
This course continues Episode 26 of the Solar Sidekicks podcast, with Sandy Atkins from Energy Safe Victoria returning to go deeper on AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 — moving from what changed to how it affects the work you do every day.
Part One covered what changed in the standard and why. Part Two is the practical half: how the updated requirements affect real-world installations, the changes installers need to be ready for, and the steps that keep a job compliant.
It’s a focused session that builds directly on the concepts from Part One, straight from someone involved in shaping the standard. Listen, then complete a short quiz to earn your certificate and 15 CPD points.
