Mounting and Connecting the Primary and
Secondary Unit(s)
The inverter is typically mounted vertically, and the instructions in this section are
applicable for vertical installation. Some SolarEdge i nverters model can be installed
horizontally (above 10° tilt) as well as vertically. For information and instructions for
horizontal mounting refer to

of_three_phase_inverters.pdf
First mount the Primary Unit then the Secondary Unit(s).
NOTE
Make sure the mounting surface or structure can support the weight of the inverter and brackets, and
make sure that it spans the width of the mounting brackets.
CAUTION!
HEAVY OBJECT. To avoid muscle strain or back injury, use proper lifting techniques, and if required - a
lifting aid.
1. Determine the inverter mounting location, on a wall or stud framing . I t is recommended to mount
the inverter in a location protected from direct sunlight.
2. To allow proper heat dissipation, maintain the following minimum clearance areas between the
inverter and other objects:
NOTE
The Primary unit is longer than the Secondary Unit, therefore make sure the mounting location is
high enough to fit the Primary Unit and leaves sufficient space for cable entry.
If installing a single inverter:
l
At least 20 cm (8") from the top and bottom of each unit. For the Primary Unit, make sure to leave
o
sufficient clearance for cable entry.
3 cm (1.2") f rom the right and left of the unit.
o
If installing multiple inverters:
l
When installing inverters one above of the other, leave at least 40 cm (16") between inverters.
o
When installing the Primary Unit , leave 40 cm (8") between the top of the Primary Unit and the
bottom of the Connection Unit.
When installing inverters side by side:
