Residential barrier

To prevent the spread of fire, install a non-combustible barrier on the opposite side of the wall or structural surface where the battery is mounted.
If the installation surface is not made of non-combustible material, a non-combustible barrier should be placed between the battery and the wall or structural surface.
If the battery pack is mounted on a wall or within 300mm from a wall that separates the energy storage system from a residential space, ensure that the distance from other structures or objects is increased.

Install the battery
