Inverter/Charger Overheat in Compartment

2024 340 RL with solar plus. While on the road a couple of weeks ago, I ran the generator for the last hour of the trip to run the a/c to pre-cool the trailer before we arrived. It was about 97 degrees. At our site, I found the solar indicated a warning and upon opening the front compartment to inspect the inverter, it was very hot in the upper area. Real hot. I directed a portable fan into the compartment to help it cool off. The inverter was indicating it was hot. I am looking into heat insulation on the interior walls of the generator box to help keep the heat from transferring into the solar equipment area.

So my question is if anyone has added an air intake and exhaust to the upper half of the front compartment in order to keep the solar equipment cool during hot times? The easiest place I can figure is the side walls but that would mean pulling air from the LP tank areas and that is not smart. I’m thinking maybe the rear wall that butts up to the main storage compartment.
