Visual Defects Course Two is a CPD course created for licensed electricians, solar installers, designers, and compliance professionals who want to sharpen their skills in identifying and preventing visual defects in solar PV installations. Building on the foundations of Part One, this course takes a deeper look into the common — and commonly overlooked — issues that can jeopardize compliance, safety, and system performance.
Whether you're on the roof, signing off on a job, or auditing installations, this course will enhance your ability to spot non-compliances and understand their real-world implications. The content aligns closely with AS/NZS 5033:2021 and AS/NZS 3000:2018 requirements and draws from hundreds of real inspections carried out across the industry.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
Recognise visual defects that may not trigger immediate failure but still breach standards or best practice.
Understand how seemingly minor issues can lead to targeted audits or systemic non-compliance.
Apply current Australian Standards (AS/NZS 5033:2021 and AS/NZS 3000:2018) to real-world scenarios.
Improve your installation quality to reduce rework and inspection failures.
Strengthen your knowledge of what inspectors look for — and why it matters.
