7 SPOT Hardware
Each SPOT is assembled into a hermetically sealed NEMA4x/IP66 enclosure as shown in the
Figure 14. The enclosure is designed to be mounted vertically or horizontally depending on the
deployment.
Vertical mounting – directly mounted using Unistrut on any of the posts that serve as structural
support to the racking system where solar modules are installed.
Horizontal mounting – SPOT can be installed horizontally in a rack system. Typically, this is used
for indoor deployments, when the FEED add-on product is included (see section 6.1).
The heat generated within the enclosure is extracted via an external passive heat exchanger.
