Why You Should Place Your Solar Inverter Under Shade
Shading can reduce the risk of overheating—particularly throughout our hot Australian summers! By limiting overheating, you can also increase the life of your inverter and improve its
The cheapest option available for providing shade for your solar inverter is a plastic awning from bunnings. We don't recommend this option for a few reasons. These awnings let some light through and don't fit tightly around your solar inverter.
If your solar inverter is exposed to direct sunlight, your warranty with the inverter manufacturer could be void. In this case, we recommend using a solar inverter cover to protect your inverter and its warranty. An inverter shade cover is a valuable accessory for your solar inverter.
You should check which direction this wall is facing and if there is an awning above this wall. If the wall faces anywhere from east to west, meaning it faces towards north, then your solar inverter could be exposed to direct sunlight. If your solar inverter is exposed to direct sunlight, your warranty with the inverter manufacturer could be void.
Without a solar inverter, the energy harnessed by your solar panels would be unusable. Therefore, keeping your inverter in top condition is essential for the overall performance of your solar system. Your solar inverter should be put in a cool, shaded spot with good airflow to avoid getting too hot. Make sure it's easy to reach for maintenance.
