[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 527333, member: 28452"] My invertor is in the loft, screwed to a structural brick wall. I did ask the installer to put it there, mainly as I didn't want it fixed to woodwork, but I suspect they would have done it that way anyway, as the wall is immediately above the consumer unit. I became concerned about its operating temperature a couple of years ago, after a discussion on this forum, and (temporarily) positioned a centrifugal fan to drive ambient air over the heatsink. The fan is on a timeswitch and only operated in hot weather. Presently, I'm hopeful that this arrangement will give me a reasonable invertor life BUT I have wondered if I should duct in some "cold" outdoor air. Has anyone done anything like that? [/QUOTE]
