Can a PV inverter be installed outside?

There are many inverters for PV systems that can be installed outdoors. In fact, most grid-tied inverters are designed for outdoor use, although most off-grid inverters are not weatherproof and are generally mounted indoors, close to the battery bank.

Where should a solar inverter be located?

For homes, this usually means near a sub board, which in modern homes are often in the garage. A sub board is a board that has circuit breakers for all the different circuits in your house. Your solar inverter can connect to this board as it will already be connected to the main switch board, which is where your meters are usually read.

Can a grid-tied inverter be installed outside?

Like most electronic devices, inverters operate more efficiently at cooler temperatures. While most grid-tied inverters are designed for outside installation, they should not be mounted in direct sunlight, as this will degrade their efficiency. In addition to the lost output, the lifetime of the unit is likely to be shortened.

Should I build a small enclosure for my inverter?

These are rarely located in areas where staff or clients will frequently be around. If the aesthetics are extremely important to you and the location of the inverter has to be in an area where it will be seen frequently, you can build a small enclosure to surround the inverter as long as it is well ventilated and not fully enclosed.

Where is the inverter located?

For homes, the inverter will most likely be in a garage, or along the side of the house near the meter box. For businesses, the inverters will also be near a sub board or main switch board. These are rarely located in areas where staff or clients will frequently be around.
