3.2 Mounting
Placement of the Sunny Boy
The Sunny Boy is a highly integrated electronic device, therefore sensitive to humid-
ity within its case.
If the Sunny Boy is placed outside air humidity during installation should
not be extremely high (e.g. in case of fog) - pay special attention that it
does not rain. If moisture is enclosed in the case it will eventually con-
dense within the device which could damage the electric components and
lead to failure of the inverter. SMA cannot provide warranty for damages
resulting directly or indirectly from faulty installation.
A suitable position must be found for the inverter/s while the PV-plant is designed. It
is important to take the following criteria into account:
Criteria for device mounting:
•
Due to the high protection class IP65 the installation is possible indoors as well
as 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
possible.
•
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 work and later servicing.
•
Installation in eye-height allows easy reading of the operating indicators (LEDs).
