SAA currently lists GCBS Installation Only as an additional accreditation type to an existing GCPV Design & Installation accreditation. Completing this course alone does not by itself make a student eligible for SAA GCBS Installation Only accreditation.
If you are comparing PV Install Only plus Battery Install Only against a battery accreditation outcome, please speak with our team before enrolling.
