Figure 9: Mounting bracket
NOTE
Make sure the mounting surface or structure can support the weight of the
inverter and bracket, and make sure that it spans the width of the bracket.
CAUTION!
HEAVY OBJECT. To avoid muscle strain or back injury, use proper lifting
techniques, and if required - a lifting aid.
CAUTION!
SolarEdge inverters and power optimizers can be installed at a minimum
distance of 50 m/ 164 ft from the shoreline of an ocean or other saline
environment, as long as there are no direct salt water splashes on the inverter or
power optimizer.
1. Determine the inverter mounting location, on a wall, stud framing or pole. It is
recommended to mount the inverter in a location protected from direct sunlight.
2. To allow proper heat dissipation, maintain the following minimum clearance areas
between the inverter and other objects:
If installing a single inverter:
At least 20 cm (8") from the top and bottom of the inverter; if installing
an inverter with a DC Safety Unit, make sure to leave sufficient clearance
for cable entry.
10 cm (4") from the right and left of the inverter. For easy access to the
fans , a larger clearance is recommended.
If installing multiple inverters:
When installing inverters one above the other, leave at least 40 cm (16")
between inverters. If installing an inverter with a DC Safety Unit, leave 20
cm (8") between the top of an inverter and the bottom of the DC Safety
Unit).
When installing inverters side by side, follow these clearance
specifications:
