4 Installation requirements
Please check that all of the conditions listed below are met before installing and
setting up the Sunny Boy.
4.1 Installation site requirements
The Sunny Boy 700 weighs 16 kg. Please take this weight into
account when choosing the installation site and method of
installation.
The Sunny Boy 700 should be installed in a place where it is not
exposed to direct sunlight. An increased ambient temperature can
reduce the yield of the PV system.
The Sunny Boy is designed to be mounted on a vertical wall. For an optimum energy
yield and the most convenient operation, vertical installation at eye-level is
preferable. In case it is absolutely necessary to tilt the Sunny Boy to the back the
maximum angle is 45 °. If installing the unit outdoors, make sure that it is not slanting
forwards.
It is not recommended to install the Sunny Boy lying on the back side with the lid
facing upwards.
The ambient temperature must be within -25 °C to +60 °C.
