[QUOTE="binky, post: 526375, member: 490"] My inverter can get to an internal temp of 70C in hottest parts of summer months. That's why they should be mounted in a cool location with plenty of air movement. Inverters don't reset , they make themselves less efficient when overloaded or getting too hot. If they get really hot, they will shutdown to protect themselves. Personally I would have installed a larger inverter to better.atch the size of the array. Older inverters were less efficient, so undersizing by 20%, was common practice to improve performance in winter/ darker weather, but inverters run at 97% efficiency these days, so that's a nonsense.
