3.1 Installation Area

WARNING! Do not install the inverter:

• Near to a heat source. High temperature decreases the output power and service life of the inverter
• In a dusty place
• Exposed directly to sunlight
• Near flammable materials or gases
• In a place that can be touched inadvertently

You can install the inverter indoor and outdoor when the requirements are met.

Installation clearance

Inverter needs enough space to dissipate the heat, please observe the clearance requirements below.

3.2 PV Array Consideration

PV modules require,

• Not grounded to the PV+ or PV- terminals
