William I have them is salty areas, dusty and hot, best to do is a so called clean room, fresh air via a filter. This might sound like allot to do but the outback is open and dust will cause issues down the road. I had a SMA overheat and ahut dowm after only 6 months due to dust so keep it clean

Hi William Sounds like Baja. With such limited details, I'd consider conditioned space via AC unit. It would keep the batteries cool, inverter, CC, and ancillary units dust free. Then you can use the equipment you want. But if that isn't an option, the XW series has a much better design for

Friends: I am designing an off-grid system that will be in a pretty dusty environment. The inverter was going to be a Radian 8 K. Have any of you successfully mitigated dust problems with design features? What inverters might someone suggest? Sealed units? The environment is also hot.
