box. Exposure to direct sunlight will increase the operational temperature of the inverter and
may cause output power limiting. Ginlong recommends inverter installed to avoid
direct sunlight or raining.

To avoid over heating ambient air temperature must be considered when choosing
the inverter installation location. Ginlong recommends using a sun shade minimizing
direct sunlight when the ambient air temperature around the unit exceeds 104°F/40°C.
