10.5.2 - Fan
The SolarCity H6 inverter includes an internal fan for stabilizing hot air within the inverter.
This fan is secured inside the wiring box with four (4) screws. This fan must be replaced as
soon as reasonably practical if it is not working properly in order to prevent possible inverter
overheating. To replace the fan:
1. Turn the DC Disconnect Switch to the OFF position. If the battery pack includes a DC
disconnect, then turn that switch OFF as well.
2. Move the external AC disconnect / back-feed breaker in the main electrical panel to the
OFF position.
3. Remove the wiring box cover as described in
“Remove Wiring Box Cover” on page 59
.

7. Remove the screws securing the old fan to the bracket.
8. Secure the new fan to the bracket using the screws you removed in Step 8.
9. Hold the fan and bracket in position inside the wiring box, and then use a Torx head
screwdriver to replace the two fan screws (#4). Do not over-tighten.
10. Pug the fan power cable into the fan connector.
11. Replace the wiring box cover as described in
“Refit Wiring Box Cover” on page 60
