4 Requirements for the Installation
Please make sure to fulfill all conditions below before installing and commissioning
the Sunny Boy 5000TL Multi-String.
4.1 Requirements: Mounting Place
The Sunny Boy 5000TL Multi-String has a weight of 31 kg. Please
keep this in mind when selecting the place where and how to mount
the Sunny Boy 5000TL Multi-String.
The Sunny Boy 5000TL Multi-String 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. We advise against installing the unit in a horizontal position outdoors.
It is not reccomended to install the Sunny Boy lying on the back side with the lid facing
upwards.
The ambient temperature must be within -25 °C and +60 °C.
31 kg
max. 45°
Install the Sunny Boy vertically, or if
necessary tilted slightly to the back. Never install the Sunny Boy
tilted to the front.
