This solar inverter is only 3 years old.
Unfortunately this installation resulted in an electrical fire.
Water entered the DC isolator because it wasn’t properly sealed and the correct cable glands weren’t installed. Moisture inside electrical connections can lead to overheating, melting and in this case - fire damage.
This is exactly why solar should only be installed by qualified and accredited electricians.
