Do you have a photovoltaic power plant and are wondering where to place the battery to ensure efficient use and sufficient safety? We’ve put together specific tips to help you choose the ideal location for your home.
Inner spaces
Locate the battery indoors for easy accessibility, safety and possible manoeuvring. The best location for the battery is near the PV panels to minimize energy loss due to transporting electricity over longer distances. A suitable location may therefore be a utility room, garage or basement. The battery should be in a dry room where the temperature is kept between 10 and 45 °C.
Security
When selecting a suitable location, it is important to keep in mind that the battery heats up during charging and discharging. It is therefore important to ensure sufficient cooling and ventilation to prevent the battery from overheating and thus maximise its lifetime. The battery should not be in close proximity with combustible materials, nor should any water flow into it.
Spatial restrictions
Photovoltaic batteries are spacious, so when planning the location, make sure there is enough space around the battery for easy access. When installing a solar PV system, it’s a good idea to consult with a specialist who can help you select and place the batteries so that your system is efficient, reliable and safe.
