Mounting the Inverter
CAUTION!
HEAVY OBJECT. To avoid muscle strain or back injury, use proper lifting techniques, and if required - a
lifting aid.
CAUTION!
SolarEdge inverters can be installed at a minimum distance of 50 m/ 164 ft from the shoreline of an
ocean or other saline environment, as long as there are no direct salt water splashes on the inverter.
1. Determine the inverter mounting location, on a wall, stud framing or pole. It 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:
If installing a single inverter:

20 cm (8") f rom the top o f the inverter.
o
10 cm (4") from the bottom of the StorEdge Connection Unit.
o
10 cm (4") from the right and left of the inverter.
o
If installing multiple inverters:

When installing inverters one above the other, leave at least 20 cm(8") between the top of an
o
inverter and the bottom of the StorEdge Connection Unit.
When installing inverters side by side, leave 20 cm( 8") between inverters.
o
3. Position the mounting bracket against the wall/pole and mark the drilling hole locations :
Ensure that the flat edge of the bracket is at the bottom, as in Figure 10.
o
Use at least two bracket holes. Additional holes can be used to fix the bracket. Determine which
o
and how many holes to use according to mounting surface type and material.
4. Drill the holes and mount the bracket. Verify that the bracket is firmly attached to the mounting
surface.
NOTE
When mounting an inverter on an uneven surface, you may use spacers/ washers behind the top
mounting hole of the bracket. Depending on the angle, use the appropriate size and number of spacers
so that the bracket is perpendicular to the ground. Recommended: a stainless steel 3/4" long screw,
with a 1/4" socket button head , two jam nuts and three washers.
5. Hang the inverter on the bracket (see Figure 10): Lift the inverter from the sides, or hold it at the top
and bottom of the inverter to lift the unit into place. Do not lift holding the StorEdge Connection
Unit as it may be damaged.
