[QUOTE="binky, post: 468469, member: 490"] now you know why I don't fit inverters in attics unles they are well ventilated, or I have no choice. SMAs work upto 70 0C, beyond that they shut down for self preservation. They will derate themselves as well to become less efficient as another mode of protection, but there is still a limit with regards to the upper temperature they can sustain. I would suggest looking at potential locations to relocate the inverter to, such as an outside wall, or consider having a few roof vents fitted. A cooler location would be my choice, as this will extend it's overall lifespan. [/QUOTE]
