[QUOTE="binky, post: 531469, member: 490"] inverters are designed to go in gardens and other places like solar farms. Ideal location is a shaded outside wall, so it's not in the hot sun and gets plenty of air movement. My own inverter has been working fine outdoors for 11 years now. Most solar farms are also built this way after they found big central inverters are a pain in the neck, plus it cuts down the DC cable runs. Running SWA back to a hub is easier and safer than running DC cables, especially when buried as the DC cable fails after about 5 years when constantly wet. Batteries are a differnt matter, they need a dry shelter and a little warmth in winter. [/QUOTE]
