It's a bit big for a few electrical bits, but the price is good. Don't mount an inverter in that, insufficient airflow to keep it cool in summer.
for inverters, lots, the cooler they stay, the more efficient they are, and more importantly they don't get too hot in summer and shut down. So my preferred location for inverters is an external wall, ideally facing North, but definetly not in the sun. Even today my inverter is running at 30C, I've seen it upto 70C in summer. Inverters cool work by natural convection currents, so you need lots of air movement around them, the vents in that plastic box are not sufficient. It wouldn't be hard to add a few extra, top and bottom of the box, but also bear in mind you want to mount the inverter to a surface that won't melt, and I would be a little worried about the garde of plastic used for that box. Official recommendation is to place something like cement board between the inverter and any wooden boards(flammable surfaces), or you could fashion a metal frame from unistrut to keep the inverter cooling fins away from the plastic itselfHow much air flow is needed, there are vents on both sides? genuine question.
Even less ventilation in those enclosures.this is the sort of thing you need, GRP rather than metal.

Sidewinder has forgotten more than most of us know. He is also extremely ill, so I would suggest you apologize.I would report that post as being condescending/rude, but it will go to you, and you obviously have a very high opinion of your posts, doubt this will be up long.
