Just curious about the max altitude rating on inverters. I am at 8000'+ elevation (about 2500m), and it seems several of the popular AIO inverters are rated up to 2000m, a few for 3000m. The only thing which it seems might be effected by altitude is cooling efficiency with the thinner air, which while real is less of a concern up here most of the time because we tend to be much cooler than at lower elevations (and all the units should be monitoring their internal temps). I suppose it might also be possible that some of the capacitors may have leaking issues at higher elevations too.
I am just wondering how seriously I need to "obey" these limits. Can anyone comment about this. Any other potential issues that might come into play?
