Mounting The Inverter - CanadianSolar CSI Series Installation And Operation Manual

4. Installation
Install vertically with a maximum incline of +/- 5°.If the mounted inverter is tilted to an
angle greater than the maximum noted, heat dissipation can be inhibited, and may result
in less than expected output power.
When 1 or more inverters are installed in one location, a minimum 12inchs clearance
should be kept between each inverter or other object. The bottom of the inverter should
be 20inchs clearance to the ground.
