Harold, I don't know why you are being so obtuse here. Or maybe you're just ignoring what you don't want to hear. The genny won't be on when the inverter is on so it doesn't matter if the inverter is in that compartment or not. And that shield around the genny does what? Oh yeah it keeps the heat out of that compartment. Since heat is heat, electronics doesn't pick and choose what hot it dislikes. My original reply was that my inverter gets used in HOT weather. I live in the desert. I've had no issues. Would you like for me to take some temp readings of my genny in the heat? Or would you ignore that as well?
To the OP, I operate my inverter in VERY hot conditions. NEVER had so much as a glitch. And since a generator does not give off heat when it's turned off (unless Harold has some strange genny that runs from alien technology), putting your inverter in that compartment above the genny is a non-issue.
Your ignorance of this inverter/charger is realy apparent. It is part of the design that the charger can operate at the same time as the genny is supplying power in order to charge the battery bank at the same time.
