SMA Solar Technology AG Mounting the Device
Installation Guide SB12-17-IA-en-52 17
• Never install the device with a sideways tilt.
• Do not install horizontally.
• Install at eye level in order to allow operating state to be read at all times.
• To ensure optimal operation, the ambient temperature should be below 40 °C.
• Do not expose the inverter to direct sunlight to avoid a power reduction due to excessive
heating.
• In a living area, do not mount the unit on plasterboard walls (or similar) in order to avoid audible
vibrations. The inverter can make noises when in use which may be perceived as a nuisance in
a living area.
• Observe the minimum clearances to walls, other
inverters or objects as shown in the diagram in
order to ensure sufficient heat dissipation and
sufficient space for the removal of the Electronic
Solar Switch.
Multiple inverters installed in areas with high ambient temperatures
If necessary, increase the clearances and make sure there is enough ventilation to ensure
sufficient cooling of the inverters.
