Fluid analysis of inverter cooling systems is a necessary part of a maintenance program to optimize solar inverter systems and ensuring peak performance.

At Bureau Veritas, our fluid analysis program provides insight into the fluid to determine the condition of the components being cooled and other the continued serviceability of the fluid. Keeping the coolant in the correct balance is important and prevents corrosion, electrolysis, hotspots, and failures. All of which play a role in keeping the performance efficiency and maintaining and maximum up time.

The goal of solar inverter coolant monitoring testing is to confirm that the correct fluid is in service, if the fluid is serviceable or requiring maintenance, and if any maintenance is required and to what extent. If corrosion has occurred, it will require a different corrective action than if the fluid is at the serviceability life extensity. For this occurrence, the most cost effective way to maintain the inverters is to flush and service the fluid. Our goal is to help users create a maintenance plan for preventing the corrosion process, in which in extreme cases, the oxide formation acts as an insulator and the inverter will not stay within its acceptable operating temperature and cause failure.
