The unit has arrived. Now we start the process of setting up the unit ready for installation.

First thing I removed the mounting bracket ready to get templates made, one for my workshop wall and the modified version.

Why a modified version, cooling, everyone talks about the importance of cooling, then you receive an inverter with a heat sink on the back of the unit which is 3 mm off the wall, really, I would have thought a little more consideration would have been taken in account for the cooling. The first modified bracket will be longer (top to bottom) and have a space of at least 50 mm away from the wall to allow for cooling.

I a have also considered making along bracket which will support the inverter and battery with a 100 mm gap at the back, this will also allow me to fit small fans with temp control and hide the trunking or any wires I need to go up the back, that way there is no crossing of wires in the trunking.
