I am in the process of planning an install of a Gen 3 Wall Connector ahead of a Tesla Model 3 purchase in Perth Western Australia. Install will be a single phase install (7.4kW, 240V, 30 amps). Unfortunately due to driveway and Model 3 charging port constraints the only place I can mount the Wall Connector is on an external North facing wall which will bake in up to 40+ degree heat in summer months charging during solar production hours / energy provider cheap time of use period (9am-3pm) covering the hottest time of the day.
Is this likely to be an issue with both longevity of equipment and potential for reduced charging output (below 7.4kW)?
Manual states "For optimal performance, install Wall Connectors in areas where ambient temperature will remain below 50˚C (122˚F). In rare circumstances, Wall Connector may begin reducing amperage at 35˚C (95˚F) ambient temperatures."
Curious if these rare circumstances might relate to my install environment. Temperatures however shouldn't reach more than 50 degrees ambient temperature outside the wall connector, inside however likely a different story.
Feedback appreciated.
