Relative humidity: 0-100%
When installing the inverter in a switch cabinet or similar closed environment, it is neces-
sary to make sure that the hot air that develops will be dissipated by forced-air ventila-
tion.

non-flammable surfaces sufficiently capable of bearing loads)
Poles (installed using mounting rails, behind the solar modules directly on the PV
mounting system)
Flat roofs (if installing on a foil roof, make sure that the foils adhere to the fire protec-
tion requirements and are thus not easily flammable. Ensure compliance with the
