Why You Should Place Your Solar Inverter Under Shade
Your solar system inverter is a critical component of your system—and to ensure it’s protected from the elements and to optimise its performance, it’s a good idea to place it somewhere shaded such us in a garage or under a canopy.
Here are some key reasons why a shaded position is often recommended for solar inverters:
- 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 performance.
- Shading can also protect against other weather damage, such as rain and storm debris.
If you don’t have existing shade, it may be possible to install a small canopy for your inverter. Talk to our friendly team about potential solutions available to you.
