Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to

ascertain and meet client requirements for installation of a renewable energy system hardware

plan and connect the hardware components according to vendor and technical specifications

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

site on which renewable energy solutions can be implemented

renewable energy system currently used in industry

relevant documentation feasibility studies equipment manuals and other site related documentation

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

direct observation of the candidate carrying out installation and testing activities

review of plans completed by the candidate for different sites

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of legislation and safety procedures

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example
