5.2 Location Requirements
To a large extent, a proper installation location ensures safe operation, service life, and
performance of the inverter.
• The inverter should be installed at a height that allows easy viewing of the LED indicator
panel, as well as easy electrical connection, operation and maintenance.

5.2.1 Installation Environment Requirements

• If the inverter is installed in a place with lush vegetation, weed on a regular basis. In
addition, the ground beneath the inverter needs to undergo certain treatment, such as
laying cement or gravel, etc. (an area of 3m×2.5m is recommended).
• Do not install the inverter in an environment with flammables, explosives, or smoke.
• Do not install the inverter in places prone to water leak, e.g., under the air-conditioner
vent, the air vent, or the cable outlet window of the machine room, so as to prevent
device damage or short circuit caused by intrusion of water.
• Do no install the inverter in a place with corrosives such as corrosive gas and organic
solvent, etc.
• When the inverter is running, its surface may carry high voltages or get very hot. Do not
touch it; otherwise, it may lead to burns or electric shocks.
• Do not install the inverter in a place that is easy to reach for people.
• If the inverter needs to be installed in a closed or semi-closed environment, please
install additional heat dissipation or ventilation devices. Furthermore, while the inverter
is operating, ensure the indoor ambient temperature does not exceed the outdoor
ambient temperature. A semi-closed environment refers to a special space where natural
ventilation is limited and gas or heat may easily accumulate, although it is not fully
enclosed on all six sides.
• Good heat dissipation is very important to the inverter. Please install the inverter in a
ventilated environment.
• Please consult SUNGROW before installing inverters outdoors in areas prone to
salt damage, which mainly are coastal areas within 500 meters of the coast. The
