4 Installation
4.1 Siting
The Grant range of inverters can be
installed either indoors or outdoors.
When siting the inverter, ensure that:
1) Sunlight cannot fall directly onto the
inverter enclosure.
2) The inverter is installed on a concrete
or brick wall.
3) The wall will not have a tilt angle
greater than 30º.
The inverter should be mounted a
minimum of 1.2m from ground level.
There must be a minimum space of
500mm above the top of the inverter
and 200mm on both sides – Figure 1.

from the front.
CAUTION:
Do not install the
inverter in an explosive
or flammable
environment.
The site of the
installation will be dry,
clean from dust and
sufficient room to allow
free air to circulate.
CAUTION:
The site of the
installation should not
be an area that is in
constant use by people
or animals.
Do not touch the
enclosure while the
inverter is in operation.
The temperature of the
casing may exceed
60ºC. Risk of burns.
WARNING:
The inverter must not be
covered or partially
covered at any time, due
to risk of fire!
