Recommended clearances:
Provided that the recommended clearances are observed, adequate heat dissipation will be ensured
as well as sufficient space to remove the ESS if necessary. Sufficient heat dissipation prevents a
reduction in inverter power as a result of high temperatures (details on temperature derating can be
found in the Technical Information "Temperature Derating" at www.SMA-Solar.com).
☐ Observe the recommended clearances to walls as well as to other inverters or objects.
☐ If multiple inverters are mounted in areas with high ambient temperatures, increase the
clearances between the inverters and ensure sufficient fresh-air supply.
