[RE-wrenches] Shade for Inverters on a flat roof

[Bill Loesch]

Fellow Wrenches,

Did the group get any efficacy resolution for Zomeworks Cool Box ? 
Although, I believe, primarily intended as a mechanism to 
moderate/mitigate temperature extremes to improve battery output on the 
temperature high and low ends, the cooler daytime temps, above and 
beyond mere shading, would not hurt anything (with the possible 
exception of one's wallet).

What Missouri DOT uses to house it's electronics/batteries is an 
enclosure with a secondary flat plate with approx. one inch standoffs 
between the top of the enclosure and the "shade top".
