Built on the foundation of the DuraRack battery cabinet, the FlexTower combines the battery, charge controller, and inverter into a single unit with an LCD control panel, and remote
As a rule, inverters designed for outdoor use may be installed either outdoors or indoors, however indoor inverters can only be installed indoors. The great majority of grid-tied or string inverters available today are designed for outdoor installation.
When choosing the site for installing an inverter, it is essential that the environmental conditions specified by the manufacturer be maintained. There are both temperature and humidity requirements for these devices.
Thus, even inverters that incorporate robust outdoor packaging should be kept shaded, even if it means installing an awning over them. The ideal installation site for inverters is cool, dry, dust-free and indoors.
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.
