Position the mounting bracket against the wall/pole and mark the drilling hole locations:  

 

Ensure that the U-shaped indentations are facing up, as shown below: 

 

Figure 7: Bracket with U-shaped Indentations Facing Up 

 

Use at least two bracket holes. Additional holes can be used to fix the bracket. Determine 
which and how many holes to use according to mounting surface type and material. 

2

 

Drill the holes and connect the bracket.

 

Verify that the bracket is firmly attached to the mounting 

surface. 

3

 

Hang the inverter on the bracket using the screws at the top of the inverter, as shown below. Let the 
inverter lay flat against the wall or pole.

Insert the two supplied screws through the outer heat sink fin on either side of the inverter and into 
the bracket. Tighten the screws with a torque of 3.9 N*m / 2.8 lb*ft.

Open the inverter cover’s six Allen screws and carefully lift the cover towards you before lowering it. 

 

CAUTION: 

When removing the cover, make sure not to damage internal components. SolarEdge will not be held 
responsible for any components damaged as a result of  incautious cover removal.
