As the Multiplus ii and i presume the MMPTT charge controllers are NOT rated to be installed hazardous locations, i will NOT install any equipment that is not safe to install in that location.
Equipment has to be rated Gas Group(ATEX, IEC or NEC 505) IIA.
Propane falls under Gas Group IIA.
You only need 1.7% propane in the air to cause an explosion.
