The fans are referred to as “Fan 1” and “Fan 2”:
In three phase inverters - Fan 1 is internal, Fan 2 is external
In single phase 10-11.4kW inverters - Fan 1 is external, Fan 2 is internal
In single phase 7.6kW inverter has one internal fan, referred to as Fan 1.
A fan replacement kit is available from SolarEdge.
