5 Installation Requirements

Check that all of the requirements listed below are met before installing and
commissioning the Sunny Boy.

5.1 Installation Location Requirements

30 / 32 kg
The Sunny Boy is designed to be mounted on a vertical wall. However, if absolutely
necessary, the Sunny Boy can be installed tilted back at a maximum angle of 45°.
Vertical installation at eye-level is preferable for an optimum energy yield and maximum
operational comfort. If installing the unit outdoors, make sure that it is not slanting
forwards.
We advise against installing the unit in a horizontal position outdoors.
Install the inverter vertically or
tilting backward.
Installation Guide
The Sunny Boy SB 2500 weighs 30 kg, the Sunny Boy SB 3000
weighs 32 kg. Take this weight into account when choosing the
installation location and method of installation.
The ambient temperature must not be outside the -25 °C to
+60 °C range.
The Sunny Boy is designed for outdoor installation and should be
installed in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. An
increased ambient temperature can reduce the yield of the PV
system. Installing the unit in badly ventilated, warm indoor locations
may also reduce yield.
Never install the inverter horizontally
or so that it tilts forward.
