[RE-wrenches] Micro inverters not on the roof.

[Solar]

I did something similar for my lab at the community college I teach at. Long story short, the lab used modules mounted outside on an awning and all the inverters (string, off-grid and micro) were inside so hookup could be done during poor weather or evening. 

Worked out nice.

Some of the supporting structure is preventing us from getting under the modules to install the M-190s.  Each module was fed to the equipment cabinet since the combiner was located there.  I have decided it will be much easier to install the M-190s in the equipment cabinet.  We have everything we need there:  The individual PV leads (in 10AWG), the breaker panel and room to mount the inverters.  Can any of you see any reason why the M-190s can’t be installed no on the roof?
