3.2 Placement of the Sunny Boy
The Sunny Boy is a complicated electronic device and is therefore sensitive to
humidity within the case.
If the Sunny Boy is placed outside, the humidity during the installation
should be as low as possible - pay special attention that it does not rain. If
moisture is enclosed in the case it will eventually condense within the de-
vice which could damage the electronics.
A suitable position must be found for the inverter/s while the PV-plant is designed. To
find the optimum location please consider the following most important criteria.
Criteria for device mounting:
•
Due to the high protection class IP65 the installation is possible indoors and
outdoors.
•
If possible, do not expose the inverter to direct moisture despite IP65.
•
Keep the DC cabling from the solar generator to the inverter as short as possi-
ble.
•
Avoid installation in the living area because a slight noise emission is possible.
•
Avoid mounting on resonant parts (e. g. thin wooden panels, plaster panels,
etc.)
•
Provide accessibility for installation and later service.
•
Installation at level height makes it possible to easily view the operating LEDs.
