MPPT needs to be vertical?
The Blue Solar MPPT I have states it needs to be installed vertically Would like to install it horizontally. Any reason for the vertical?
Forum Discussion
The heat sink is positioned so as to maximize cooling when it is mounted vertically.. Mounting horizontally can reduce the effiency of the convection cooling and cause it to overheat.
I read an article on this years ago. likely in QST (Arrl.org's publication) but I do not recall what they discovered. and I'm not sure it was in QST. Been a while.
But I recall that one position of the cooling fins worked best
