Inverter Maintenance

Overview
The Inverter Maintenance course (note: corrected from the catalog listing ‘Inverter Maintenenace’) is a focused 40 hour program built for anyone who wants to diagnose and repair solar power inverters. You will start with the general electronics principles behind inverters, such as conductors and transistors, then move into the structure of an inverter itself before working through real maintenance and repair scenarios.
This course is a natural next step for anyone who has completed a solar energy program and wants to specialize in the equipment that keeps solar systems running, or for anyone already working with electronics who wants to add inverter repair to their skill set.
What You Will Learn
- General electronics principles behind power electronics, including conductors and transistors
- How a solar inverter is built and how its main components work together
- How to diagnose common inverter faults
- Practical repair procedures for a range of inverter failures
- Safe handling and testing practices when working on inverter equipment
