temperatures near or above the derating temperature of 113°F (45°C), it is best to keep the inverter out of direct
sunlight to minimize temperature de-rating and extend product life.
Inverter Dimensions
The dimensions of the SOLECTRIA PVI 25TL-208, PVI 50TL-480, AND PVI 60TL-480 inverters are shown in Figure 3-1.

Inverter Mounting Angle
and
Orientation
The SOLECTRIA PVI 25TL-208, PVI 50TL-480, AND PVI 60TL-480 inverters are designed to accommodate mounting
angles between vertical and 75° from vertical. If tilted at 15° from vertical (75° from horizontal), or shallower (closer
to horizontal), in an outdoor environment, the Shade Cover accessory is required. See Section 9.2.1 for more details.
When possible, install the inverter vertically facing north to minimize damage caused by sunlight exposure and to
improve ventilation.
1.
The Power Head must be installed above the Wiring Box. Never install the inverter upside down.
2.
If the location permits, install the inverter mounted vertically.
3.
If the inverter cannot be mounted vertically, it may be tilted backward at any angle from vertical to 15° from
horizontal.
4.
When tilted backward at ≤75° from horizontal
(15° from vertical) in an outdoor environment, the
MTLSR-
070551
accessory is required to be installed. See Section 9.2.1 for more information.
5.
Do not mount the inverter leaning forward.
