Mounting

5.3.3.

Mounting Structure Requirements



The mounting structure where the system is mounted must be fireproof.



Do not mount the system on flammable building materials.



Ensure that the mounting surface is solid enough to bear the weight load.



In residential areas, do not mount the inverter on drywalls or walls made of similar
materials which have a weak sound insulation performance because the noise
generated by the inverter is noticeable.

5.3.4.

Mounting Angle and Stack Requirement

The inverter should be mounted on the wall.
The installation angle requirement is as follow:



Do not mount the inverter at forward tilted, side tilted, horizontal, or upside

down positions.
