Battery systems must not be installed in habitable rooms such as bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, or studies. They should be kept away from hazardous areas like near vehicles or gas cylinders, and must not block escape routes including hallways, walkways, or exits. Installation is also prohibited in certain spaces such as ceiling cavities, under stairways, or beneath access walkways. To prevent the risk of fire spreading into habitable areas, a fire protection barrier must be placed between the battery system and any connected wall or structure.
✅ Maintain at least 500mm clearance on all sides for ventilation and safety.
✅ Use a clean and clutter-free area for easy maintenance.
✅ Install a safety bollard (optional but recommended) to protect the unit from vehicles.
✅ Use proper wall mounts or supports if needed for neat installation.
✅ Install a sun-protective canopy or awning to shield the unit from sunlight and rain (mandatory).
✅ Ensure the battery compartment has a protective cover to prevent exposure to direct sunlight, rain, and debris, which could affect performance and safety.
✅ Ensure a proper cement base is prepared (avoid grass, gravel, wood, or bricks).
✅ Keep at least 500mm clearance on all sides for ventilation and access.
✅ Use wall mounts or brackets if installing against a wall.
The battery system must be installed at a safe distance from any windows or ventilation openings connected to habitable rooms. Specifically, it should not be placed within 600mm horizontally or 900mm vertically below these openings in outdoor setups. For indoor installations, the vertical clearance must be increased to at least 1200mm. These clearances are necessary to reduce the risk of fire, gas leakage, or heat affecting the safety and comfort of occupied areas inside the building. Maintaining these minimum distances helps ensure both proper ventilation and safe system performance.
