This guide provides practical, on-site, hands-on, advice on the installation of domestic electrical energy storage systems specifically looking at:
- System arrangements and schematics for domestic battery storage systems
- Different product-types on the market
- Suitability for "islanding" in accordance with BS 7671
- Limitations
- Planning, permissions, and consents for domestic systems
- Fire safety and electrical safety specifically in relation to domestic battery installations
- More factual discussion on the need for modelling in the design of a domestic system - where to go to and what to look for
- Type, rating, and arrangement of switchgear and controlgear, cables and other equipment
- Discussion on domestic system controls
This guide provides practical, on-site, hands-on, advice on the installation of domestic electrical energy storage systems.
