Inverters can be both indoors and outdoors be placed inside, but indoors is often better for longevity.
Indoor placement (recommended):
- Cooler, dry and stable temperature (e.g. garage, basement or technical room).
- Less exposure to weather conditions such as rain and UV radiation.
Outdoor seating (possible):
- Only if the inverter has an IP65 or IP66 rating (dust- and water-resistant).
- Hang in the shade (e.g. under a canopy) to prevent overheating.
Avoid placement in warm attics or directly in the sun, as heat can shorten performance and lifespan.
