When installing modules in a confined space, for example, if installing Building-
integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules, ventilation measures may be needed to
ensure the power optimizers are not be exposed to temperatures outside their
specifications.
NOTE
The images contained herein are for illustrative purposes only and may vary
depending on product models.
Step 1: Mounting the Power Optimizers
For each of the power optimizers
(1)
:
1. Determine the power optimizer mounting location and use the power
optimizer mounting brackets to attach the power optimizer to the
support structure . It is recommended to mount the power optimizer
in a location protected from direct sunlight. For frame-mounted
power optimizers follow the instructions supplied with the optimizers,

.
2. If required, mark the mounting hole locations and drill the hole.
CAUTION!
Drilling vibrations may damage the power optimizer and will void the
warranty. Use a torque wrench or an electric drill with adjustable clutch that
meets the mounting torque requirements.
Do not use impact drivers for
mounting the power optimizer.
Do not drill through the power optimizer or through the mounting holes.
3. Attach each power optimizer to the rack using M6 (1/4'') stainless steel bolts, nuts
and washers or other appropriate mounting hardware. Apply torque of 9-10 N*m /
6.5-7 lb*ft.
4. Verify that each power optimizer is securely attached to the module support
structure.
5. Record power optimizer serial numbers and locations, as described in
Monitoring Installation Data on page 44.
