A global specialist in advanced inverter technology, SMA, has opened a state of the art training centre in Brisbane, Queensland.
The new facility will provide practical training to customers located across the APAC region, empowering their internal service teams with the skills and qualifications needed for flexible operation & maintenance on their energy plants.
With SMA equipment deployed on over 60 per cent of large-scale solar projects in Australia, the training centre will help ensure SMA is well placed to continue providing services for ongoing customer support.
This new training service platform will provide large scale customers the opportunity to undertake training on First Level Support (Maintenance and Component Replacement) of SMA Sunny Central and Sunny Central Storage 2200 to 4600 UP inverters.
Customers undertaking the training will add value to their operation, by saving on annual maintenance costs and minimising response times to troubleshooting and First Level component replacements.
The investment in the training centre highlights SMA Australia's commitment to the renewable energy industry in the region. The company expects to initially train around 150 large scale industry professionals a year, with a training program for home, industrial, and commercial professionals in development for a later date.
SMA Australia’s vice president for large scale & projects, Joshua Birmingham, said the centre is a significant investment from SMA, representing a formidable commitment towards supporting customers in the APAC region.
