Does it matter how one mounts an mppt controller? Does it have to be upright vertical or can it be upright horizontal, or even laying flat on its back? My cabinet is 12" high, and the Tracer 3215BN is 11" tall. I'm considering either laying it flat, or on a 45 degree tilt back.
The controller needs cooling air around it, but AFAIK it doesn't matter how you mount it. Inverters and converters say horizontal but that is about how their fans vent through them.
