Q: How should I mount the inverter for proper cooling?

Step 1: Choose a Shaded and Clean Location

Avoid Direct Sunlight: It is necessary to avoid direct sunlight on the machine, as it reduces heat dissipation performance and shortens the life of the internal components.
Recommended Spot: A great place to install the inverter is underneath the solar panels, ensuring it stays dry, shaded, and free from thick dust.
Forbidden Environments: Do not install the unit in areas with corrosive gas, oil fumes, flammable gas, or liquids.

Step 2: Mount the Unit Vertically

Convection Cooling: To ensure an efficient convection cooling effect, the device must be installed vertically on a wall or supporter.
Airflow: Vertical mounting allows heat to rise and escape naturally through the cooling fins and fan ports.

Step 3: Set the Correct Height

Minimum Height: The installation height of the inverter should be over 1.1 meters. This keeps the unit away from ground-level dust and moisture while allowing for better air circulation.

Step 4: Manage High Ambient Temperatures

Ventilation: The installation environment must be well-ventilated to prevent equipment damage or performance degradation.
Over 45°C Protection: If the ambient temperature exceeds 45°C, ensure the inverter backside is covered. This forces the air from the internal fans to exhaust correctly from the TOP of the inverter.
Fan Operation: The internal fans are designed to run automatically once the internal temperature exceeds 45°C.

Step 5: Monitor the Cooling System

Check for Obstructions: Regularly inspect the fans for foreign objects, such as spider webs or debris, which can stop them from spinning.
Temperature Monitoring: You can view the internal temperature on the inverter status screen ("Temp: ? Degree").
- If the temperature reaches 70°C for 10 seconds, the system will stop and show an Error E16 (Over Temp) message.
- If the temperature consistently stays above 65°C, you should take photos of the installation and contact technical support for advice.
