Hi, what is everyone doing to protect their battery & inverter from the rain & weather? We’ve been advised to add a “canopy/cupboard” - what/where/how/material?! Any suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance!

have a look on Amazon too. Lots of very similar canopies a fair bit cheaper.

Got mine from Amazon - plenty to chose from. Larger the better.

Measured up after they were mounted on the wall and got something made https://www.coversandall.co.uk/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%7Bcampaign%7D&gclid=CjwKCAjww7KmBhAyEiwA5-PUSpAwsZTx8nEKeKt9i6jCaEvRA1i8pyxThdm5LwsZ39C5uhum_cIBdhoCdo4QAvD_BwE

I'd be wary of draping any sort of cover over the inverter as it will prevent airflow and will lead to overheating. You'd also be violating the mounting requirements and would probably invalidate any warranty.

Zakalwe yes, I was envisaging some sort of canopy/roof above the battery & inverter to allow air movement

Mine are in the garage so I have no need for a canopy.
