I would like to set up an 18-kW solar power system with three SolarMax 6000S inverters. Does it make more sense to install the devices in the attic or in the basement?
The devices of the SolarMax S series feature a sophisticated cooling system. It is therefore possible to install the inverters in the attic. At very high ambient temperatures the inverter will reduce its output for short periods without shutting down. For an optimal yield we therefore recommend that you either install the device in the basement or ensure adequate ventilation in the attic during the summer. As an alternative, you can install two SolarMax 3000S devices (instead of one SolarMax 6000S). In this case, the system can tolerate ambient temperatures of up to 50C without any reduction in output. Back to Overview page Question13: What steps should I take if there is a malfunction in my PV plant? 1. Check the connection to the solar generator and the grid: Has the work been done correctly and completely? Check the relevant connections (cables) and check the installation against the individual steps listed in chapter 2 (Installation) of the manual 2. The integrated graphic display
