I have a PV remote setup at my country weekender, installed in a shed/barn..not being 100% sealed, I get visited by Insects who seem to like to make my Classic 150 there home ???
Im thinking to put a fine nylon cloth filter on the fan inlet and outlet above the display, would this cause any issues ?

Should be just fine. Somewhere I have a picture of a retrofit of a stainless screen behind the cover I will try to dig them up.

I will agree with considering fitting such as mesh screen, same or similar as used on the Conduit Knock outs for the classic. We have a double bodied wasp like creature out here which loves such orifices as on the classic above the screen . She crawls inside and then builds a Mud nest to hatch her babies. The holes on the classic are also a good access point for baby geckos.
Why we cant expect every climate and installation scenario to be accomodated I like the idea of a Tropical Insect Proofing Pack to be offered as an option.
I will retrofit a piece of fine metal mesh on mine before it warms up over here much more
Outback Inverters have such a good reputation and one of the things they dont suffer from in insect ingress which is a key cause of failure on other inverters out here.
I replaced a Studer Inverter recently with a OB after it let the smoke out. Caused IMHO by ingress of body fluids from geckos or rodents which liked to sit on the top of the inverter where it was warm as the cooling vents were on the top.
Bring out a Bug Bung for the flute and Ill fit them to all my Classics for the Mediterranean

thinking of using nylon fly mesh..to cover holes use glue gun to stick on..is there a accepted modification approved by the classic guru's ?
