5 Mounting
☐ When mounting with profile rails, an attachment or fixation by loading is required. When
mounting with profile rail, SMA Solar Technology AG recommends to bolt the profile rail e.g.
to the profile of the module frame or to attach a sheet metal (which can be weighted with
stones or with sandbags) at the profile rails. This will ensure that the inverter is fixed.

Recommended Clearances:
If you maintain the recommended clearances, adequate heat dissipation will be ensured. Thus, you
will prevent power reduction due to excessive temperature.
☐ Maintain the recommended clearances to roof edges, skylights, walls as well as to other
inverters or objects. This ensures that the DC load-break switch on the inverter can be operated
easily and the LED signals can be read without difficulty.
☐ For possible service deployments, SMA Solar Technology AG recommends ensuring sufficient
clearance from walls, other inverters or objects on all four sides of the inverter enclosure. Non-
fulfillment of these criteria may restrict servicing.
☐ If multiple inverters are mounted in areas with high ambient temperatures, increase the
clearances between the inverters and ensure sufficient fresh-air supply.
