Installation

Mounting

The SolarMax Unit must be installed in a weather proof enclosure or inside the building housing the batteries. It is 

preferable to mount it in a room adjacent to the battery storage for safety reasons. The SolarMax should be mounted 

vertically with the input/output wiring entering the bottom of the unit. A diagram of the mounting screw positions is 

provided below. The reason for this mounting position is to allow the temperature activated fans to most effectively cool 

the unit. The fans will exhaust hot air at the top of the unit. Natural convection within the unit will aid this air movement 

and help with the cooling.

If SolarMax is mounted vertically, as recommended, 

the horizontal distance between the screws is 8” 

and the vertical distance is 12”. Use either 4 ¼”x1.5” 

machine screws or 4 #10 X 3” flat head wood screws 

if it will be mounted on plywood or into wall studs.
