5.2 Selecting the Mounting Location for the Off-Grid Inverter
Requirements for the mounting location:
☐ Inverters must be mounted on a stable surface, e.g. concrete, walls. In living areas, ensure that
the surface is not made of plasterboard or similar. When in operation, the off-grid inverter makes
noises that could be regarded as a nuisance.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the off-grid inverter
(see Section 12"Technical Data",page144).
☐ The mounting location must be freely and safely accessible at all times without the necessity for
any auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). If this is not the case, service
work may be restricted.
☐ The mounting location must not hinder access to switching-off devices.
☐ The mounting location must not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. Direct solar irradiation
can cause excessive heat build-up in the off-grid inverter.
☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section12"Technical Data",page144).
☐ The mounting location must be less than 3,000 m above MSL. For altitudes over 2,000 m
above MSL, contact the SMA Service Line. For altitudes above 2,000 m over MSL, the power
is reduced by 0.5% for every 100 m.
☐ The ambient temperature should be below 40°C. This will ensure optimal operation of the
off-grid inverter.
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the off-grid inverter on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the off-grid inverter in areas where highly flammable materials are stored.
• Do not mount the off-grid inverter in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Ensure that the battery room is sufficiently ventilated (see battery manufacturer's
documentation). This prevents the build-up of explosive and dangerous gases.
