4 Requirements for the Installation
Please make sure to fulfill all conditions below before installing and commissioning
the Sunny Mini Central 5000/6000.
4.1 Requirements: Mounting Place
The Sunny Mini Central 5000/6000 has a relatively high weight of
63 kg. Please keep this in mind when selecting the place where and
how to mount the Sunny Mini Central 5000/6000.
The Sunny Mini Central 5000/6000 should be installed at a place
where it is not exposed to direct sunlight - otherwise this may reduce
the yield of the PV plant due to the higher temperature.
The Sunny Mini Central 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 Mini Central 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 Mini Central lying on the back side with the
lid facing upwards.
The ambient temperature must be within -25°C and +60 °C.
63 kg
Mount the Sunny Mini Central in a vertical
position or with a slight angle to the back.
Do not mount the Sunny Mini Central with
an angle to the front or on the back.
