Hi everyone,
I'm planning to install a shelf above my inverter and would appreciate some advice. (It’s in the garage)
Does anyone know how much clearance I should leave between the inverter and the shelf? I'm not sure how much heat the unit generates, but I want to make sure it's safe and avoid any risk of overheating or fire.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

The installation manual for a Gen3 inverter advises a minimum clearance of 300 mm above.

Thanks Chris
I don’t think I was given an install guide.

Really grateful for you to share this.

Thanks.

Smurfy if you search for it, its easily found on the givenergy website

contains useful things like what all the ports do, the lights, how to shut the inverter down, etc
