5 Installation requirements
Please check that all of the conditions listed below are met before installing and setting
up the Sunny Boy.
5.1 Installation site requirements
The Sunny Boy SB 1100LV weighs approx. 29 kg. Please take this
weight into account when choosing the installation site and method
of installation.
The Sunny Boy SB 1100LV 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. If absolutely necessary,
however, the Sunny Boy can be installed tilted back at a maximum angle of 45°. For
an optimum energy yield and the most convenient operation, vertical installation at eye-
level is preferable. If installing the unit outdoors, make sure that it is not slanting forward.
The rear panel is designed such that the Sunny Boy SB 1100LV is tilting slightly
backward on a perfectly vertical wall.
We advise against installing the unit in a horizontal position outdoors.
The ambient temperature must not be outside the -25 °C to +60 °C range.
29 kg
Never install the inverter horizontally
or so that it tilts forward.
Install the inverter vertically or tilting
backward.
