Hi,
I searched and couldn’t find the answer - so sorry if this is a repeat question.
Thinking of moving electrical cabinet around to create much needed room. Can the Multi plus II be mounted horizontally instead? (For instance - the top of the inverter facing 3 o’clock and the wires coming out at the 9 o’clock position) I couldn’t find anything in manual.
Has anyone done this? Any problems?
Thanks!!
Hi and welcome to the community.
I would follow the Install Guide below, mounting in any other orientation could compromise airflow leading to overheating.

I have mine mounted horizontally and had over heating issues early on. I then installed a small USB fan facing the bottom of the inverter that has greatly reduced any over heating problems. However, during the summer if I’m charging and running the A/c’s it can still over heat so I will place another fan facing the inverter and that has been working fine.
