Envisaging when your battery could go is an exciting step in your Home Energy Kit journey. Additionally, having potential locations to discuss with your Installer during site assessment helps ensure an efficient installation and avoids the added costs of additional site assessments.
Here's what you need to do:
Your Next Steps
- Walk around your property
- Find 2-3 spots that meet the requirements below
- Optional: Take photos
How to Find a Spot for Your Battery
Your battery needs:
- A clear 2m x 2m space on a wall
- No windows or doors within this 2m x 2m area
- Protection from direct sunlight
- To be away from gas meters
Best places are:
- In your garage (most common choice)
- On an external wall
Your battery can't go:
- Inside living spaces (bedrooms, living rooms, etc.)
- Where cars might hit it (without protection)
- Under windows
- In evacuation routes
What Happens at Each Location Check
At each potential location, our installers need to:
- Check electrical connections
- Work out cable requirements
- Check what safety equipment is needed
- Calculate final installation costs
Note: This is why an additional site visit is required to scope out a new battery location
