SMA Solar Technology AG 5 Mounting
Requirements for the mounting location:
WaHiw_Lebensgefahr durch Feuer und Explosion
☐ The mounting location must be inaccessible to children.
☐ A solid surface must be available for mounting, e.g. concrete or masonry. When mounted on
plasterboard or similar materials, the inverter will develop audible vibrations during operation,
which could be considered disturbing.
☐ It may not be mounted on a pillar.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter
(see section 12 "Technical Data", page 82).
☐ The mounting location must be freely and safely accessible at all times without the necessity for
any auxiliary equipment, such as scaffolding or lifting platforms. Non-fulfillment of these criteria
may restrict servicing.
☐ The installation site should not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. Direct solar irradiation can
heat up the inverter excessively. As a result, the inverter reduces its power output.
☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see section 12 "Technical Data", page 82).
☐ The ambient temperature must be below 40°C to ensure the optimal operation of the inverter.

5.1 Selecting the Mounting Location
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
• Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the inverter in areas where highly flammable materials are stored.
• Do not mount the inverter in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
