Inverter Placement
- Accessibility: The inverter should be easily accessible for maintenance and monitoring.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter to prevent overheating.
- Proximity to Electrical Panel: The inverter needs to be connected to your main electrical panel.
Other Important Factors
- Shading: Trees, buildings, or other obstructions can significantly reduce solar output.
- Electrical Wiring: Ensure your electrical system can handle the additional load from the solar system.
- Local Building Codes: Comply with all local building codes and regulations for solar installations.
