3. Overview

To select a location for the inverter, the following criteria should be considered:
To avoid over heating ambient air temperature must be considered when choosing the
inverter installation location. Ginlong recommends using a sun shade minimizing direct
sunlight when the ambient air temperature around the unit exceeds 104°F/40°C.
Do not install in small closed spaces where air can not circulate freely. To avoid
overheating, always make sure the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked.
Exposure to direct sunlight will increase the operational temperature of the inverter and
may cause output power limiting. Ginlong recommends inverter installed to avoid
direct sunlight or raining.
