Renewable Energy is fast becoming the technology of choice to power a Low Carbon World. Wales has the potential to lead the way in the delivery of clean electricity through its abundance of wind and solar energy. To tap into these two renewable resources Wales must develop a generation of Engineers who; understand renewable energy technologies, plan & install renewable energy systems and possess the skills required to maintain the technology well into the future.
In this competition, two competitors will demonstrate their knowledge and skills that are essential for Wind Turbine Technicians and Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Installers. This competition will test the competitors' understanding of renewable energy, wind & solar PV technologies and the engineering principles behind the technologies. The competitors will demonstrate; their ability to perform calculations, use specialist software to plan work and perform mechanical and electrical skills required to install solar inverters and maintain a wind turbine drivetrain. Competitors will be expected to work together in their pairs to manage the workload and plan their own approach to the challenge.
