From our manual (available free for download and viewing on our website) “If the inverter is mounted outdoors, the clearance between the DC Disconnect and the floor must be 3 ft. (914 mm). This prevents the ingress of splashing water into the DC Disconnect.”
And “The mounting location must not be exposed to direct sources of water spray such as sprinklers or gutters.” SMA America, LLC Steve Jefferson Service Line Supervisor 3925 Atherton Ave Rocklin, CA 95765 - 3714 U.S.A.

SMA says 36" to the bottom of the disco so will go with that.

However, many inverter manufacturers specify a minimum height. You’ll need refer to the manual for that.

I'm trying to find a code reference that says how far off the ground the DC/AC disco on the inverter needs to be but am not finding one. Could be that they are in the 3' range. Not ideal but might be our best option. Anyone know where I could look up compliance?
