5 Installation Requirements
Please check that all of the conditions listed below are met before installing and setting
up the Sunny Boy.
5. 1 Installation Site Requirements
The Sunny Boy weighs more than 31 kg. Please take this weight into
account when choosing the installation site and method of installa-
tion.
The Sunny Boy is designed for outdoor installation and should be
installed in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. An in-
creased ambient temperature can reduce the yield of the PV system.
The Sunny Boy is designed to be mounted on a vertical wall. If ab-
solutely necessary, however, the Sunny Boy can be installed tilted back at a maximum
angle of 45°. For an optimum energy yield and the most convenient operation, vertical
installation at eye-level is preferable. If installing the unit outdoors, make sure that it is
not slanting forward.
A horizontal installation of devices in outside locations is not permissible.
The ambient temperature must not be outside the -25 °C to
+60 °C range.
31 kg
Install the inverter vertically or tilt-
ing backward.
Never install the inverter horizon-
tally or so that it tilts forward.
