A friend is going to mount one of these outdoors. The manual says "no direct sunlight".  I am thinking a small roof over the unit to keep the sun off it.  Has anyone done this?  THX !

    Yes , just fine to do this. 2 reasons for that.
     Inverter is giant heat sink and any help in cooling is good.
     Digital display becomes opaque and hard to read from direct sunlight.

    And it is in a Nema 3 rated enclosure that I forgot about when I posted this last year.
