► The solar inverter has protection degree IP65 and
can be installed indoors or in protected outdoor
areas (that means outdoor but protected by a roof
against direct sun, rain or snow).

tion

Fig. 5.5: Mounting distances and air circulation
► Ensure adequate air circulation. Hot air must be
able to dissipate downward. Keep enough space
around each inverter.
► Do not install inverters directly above one another.
Otherwise, the lower inverter is warmed up by the
upper one.
► Consider the operating temperature range (see
“13. Technical data”, p. 105).
When the operating temperature range is exceed-
ed, the solar inverter reduces the amount of power
generated.
