All Radian inverters can deliver their full rated wattage at temperatures up to 25°C (77°F). The Radian
maximum wattage is rated less in higher temperatures. Above 25°C, the GS8048A is derated by a factor of 80
VA for every increase of 1°C. The GS4048A is derated by 40 VA per 1°C. This derating applies to all power
conversion functions (inverting, charging, selling, offsetting, etc.)
IMPORTANT:
This inverter is intended for indoor use only. Failure to
adequately protect the inverter will void the warranty.
