[RE-wrenches] roof-mounted AC combiner box

[Peter Parrish]

Some of the combiner boxes MUST be mounted vertically, other can take up to
a 15 degree tilt, and if my memory serves me correctly (which is a 50-50
proposition) there is one box that can lie horizontal. It should already
have a DIN rail and could accommodate a bunch of touch-safe fuse holders. On
the other hand, what about 4R versions of the familiar sub-panels?

Subject: [RE-wrenches] roof-mounted AC combiner box

Hello,

I am about to start some larger Enphase systems, and I’m wondering if there
is an  AC combiner out there (outdoor load center, etc) that is listed to be
mounted at an angle(meaning roof angle), ala the Outback DC combiner boxes.
 I want several combiner / discos on the roof and it won’t look very pretty
to have them mounted vertically. Thanks.
