    When designing the photovoltaic system, ensure that all components are oper- ated within their permitted operating ranges at all times. Observe all the measures recommended by the solar module manufacturer to ensure that the solar module retains its properties in the long term. Obey the regulations of the power supply company regarding connection meth- ods and energy fed into the grid.

  • Page 38: Installation Position

    Do not install the inverter in: Places where there is an increased risk of damage from farm animals (horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.) Stables or adjoining areas Storage areas for hay, straw, chaff, animal feed, fertilisers, etc. All inverters are designed to be dust-tight. However, in areas with a heavy build-up of dust, the thermal efficiency may still be impaired by dust forming on the cooling surfaces.

  • Page 39: General Comments Regarding Choice Of Location

    Do not install the inverter horizontally on a vertical wall or pillar. Do not install the inverter on a vertical wall or pillar with its con- nection sockets facing upwards. Do not install the inverter overhanging with the connection sock- ets at the top.
  • Page 40 The airflow within the inverter is from the right to the top (cold air taken in from the right, hot air dissipated out of the top). The exhaust air can reach a temperature of 70 °C. When installing the inverter in a switch cabinet or similar closed environment, it is necessary to make sure that the hot air that develops will be dissipated by forced-air ventilation.
