Here at Infinity Heat & Power Solutions we are not just focused on our customers we also continue to help our local community where we can and help the next generation of electricians learn new skills and broaden their knowledge before coming into the electrical world.
We were approached by Nescol to see if this is something we would be willing to help out on and our lads got stuck in and made it happen.
Hopefully this test rig goes a long way in future education of our local future sparks ⚡️.

Supporting the next generation of electricians ⚡☀️
A big thank you to Infinity Heat & Power Solutions (Infinity Group Ltd) for their generous donation of a Solar PV and Battery Storage Test Rig to the Electrical Team at North East Scotland College's Fraserburgh Campus.
The rig is a fully working system that lets learners see the whole process in action:
-Solar panels generating DC voltage
-The inverter converting it to AC
-Energy being used straight away or stored in batteries for later
Using a mobile app, students can also track energy generation and usage in real time, including drawing power from the stored battery supply.
The rig will be used across all electrical courses at the Fraserburgh Campus, giving learners hands-on experience with PV and energy storage systems and a clear understanding of how renewable technologies fit into modern electrical installations.
David Blackhall, Academic Improvement Lead for Electrical at NESCol, said: "Industry support like this plays a vital role in preparing our students for successful careers in the electrical sector. This generous donation will strengthen our teaching resources and give learners valuable opportunities to see how what they learn in the classroom applies in real-world, industry settings."
Infinity Group Ltd Director Callum Campbell, himself a former NESCol Fraserburgh student, added: "We regularly employ students who have completed Electrical courses at NESCol Fraserburgh, supporting them as they progress onto the SECTT apprenticeship scheme. The campus's industry-standard workshops give students valuable hands-on experience that reflects the realities of the workplace. We are proud to support the development of emerging talent and look forward to continuing our collaboration with the college."
This is a brilliant example of employers, colleges and SECTT working together, with a local employer investing in the college that trained him and now recruiting its learners into apprenticeships. Well done to everyone involved! 👏
