Do a quick visual check every 3 months and after storms, and book a professional inspection every few years (industry recommendations range from every two to every five years). Look for debris, pests, water, blocked vents and loose cover fixings.

• Clear leaves, spider webs and nests around vents and fans.
• Look for ants, geckos or wasps.
• Check for water marks or pooling.
• Check the app for errors, reduced output or temperature warnings.
• Wipe the cover with a soft cloth and mild soapy water.

Metal — specifically aluminium — is the better choice. It’s non-combustible, sheds heat, resists rot and termites, and lasts in Australian UV. Timber looks natural but is combustible, can hold moisture and needs ongoing maintenance, so keep it well away from batteries.

If you love the timber look, use a freestanding timber screen at a distance from the equipment, or aluminium with a timber-look finish.

Avoid dark or bare steel, which gets hot and rusts.

Inverters generate heat while working and need strong airflow around their heatsinks and fans. Batteries generate less heat but are more sensitive to high ambient temperature over time, which accelerates ageing. Both need shade; inverters especially need unobstructed airflow.

Batteries also have extra installation rules under AS/NZS 5139, including location restrictions and non-combustible barriers in some cases.

A good combined cover shades both, keeps each unit’s clearances, and allows access to isolators and the display.We have all solar battery and inverter covers available in stock and comes with a 12-month manufacturing warranty.

A well-designed cover usually improves performance by keeping equipment cooler, so inverters derate less and batteries limit power less. A badly designed, enclosed cover can reduce performance by trapping heat. The difference is airflow.

Sungrow says that when an inverter is enclosed without enough airflow, it may overheat and derate, and datasheet efficiency and output are no longer guaranteed. Tesla notes Powerwall 3 performance may be de-rated above 40°C.

Covers don’t affect Wi-Fi much unless made of thick metal wrapped around the unit; if signal drops, ask your installer about a Wi-Fi extender or Ethernet.
