[RE-wrenches] SMA Sunny Boy Display Window

[frenergy]

Is all the polishing done on the outside of the display?  You'd think 
the folks at SMA could have used glass.  I've had my local glass guy cut 
me special sized UV/automotive glass that I then secure to the inside of 
the indentation around the display window with 3M 2-sided outdoor-rated 
tape, costs ~$12.  Those have only been out there for about 5 years, 
I'll report back in another 5 years .

             I also just started using a UV rated window 'film' which is 
similar to the that little strip of plastic you peel off the display of 
an SBX.0-40 after installation.....maybe we should leave that factory 
plastic strip on!?

             Occasionally , we go nuts and build a very well vented 
cabinet around it.  In the pic, that lower board hinges down over display
