Abstract
A thermal module for mounting to and using with a solar inverter includes a heat sink, at least one cooling module, and a thermal insulator. The heat sink has a heat-receiving portion and a heat-radiating portion, and the cooling module has a hot side and a cold side. The hot side of the cooling module is in contact with the heat-receiving portion of the heat sink while the cold side is in contact with a heat-producing source on the solar inverter. The thermal insulator is provided in a space between the heat-receiving portion of the heat sink, the cooling module, and the heat-producing source of the solar inverter. With the cooling module provided between the heat sink and the solar inverter, the solar inverter can have largely upgraded heat dissipation efficiency.
