Installing a home battery storage system is the first step towards making your home more energy independent. Home batteries are overwhelmingly safe, especially with the shift towards LiFePO4 battery chemistry. However, enhanced safety shouldn’t detract from the need to follow relevant regulations and guidelines when it comes to installation.
Whether coupled with solar PV panels or as a standalone system, battery storage allows homeowners to cut energy bills and carbon emissions. Before investing in a home battery, you need to decide where in your property to install your system. A loft installation can be tempting, especially for properties with limited space.
Keep your system away from direct sunlight to avoid risk of overheating. Installing a home battery storage system is the first step towards making your home more energy independent. Home batteries are overwhelmingly safe, especially with the shift towards LiFePO4 battery chemistry.
