I’m probably going to go on grid to save the inverters for a few hours (USB mode, pass through). I have twin LV6548’s and when we had 108F I saw the internal temperature reached 64c or 147F. This was after the batteries were solar charged and running the AC full tilt. Yeah, I’ll pay a few bucks for peak rates that day but it’s cheap insurance, and if the grid goes down, I won’t even know it unless I look at Solar Assistant Lol. And if it does I’ll have full batteries. If I read the manual correctly, when the internal temperature reaches 100C, it shuts down, but I heard of some shutting down well before that too. 64C is dang hot, too hot to comfortably hold your hand on it and probably safe just to give it a break. Has anyone else done this too?

I'm very close to Sacto, and get the same weather. My inverter is out in a shed, and the fan comes on but the case doesn't get super hot. I'm only pulling about 400W, though.
I’m around 10 times that at 2pm lol. They are a hummin.
