Your questions answered about solar battery installation near you
Can I install my own solar battery system?
You may be wondering, “Can anyone install a solar battery, or is this a job best left to the professionals?”
We would always recommend hiring a qualified professional to install your solar battery system. Many battery and inverter manufacturers insist on this in order to validate their guarantees.
As well as helping to select the right capacity battery for your needs, there’s also the location to think about:
- If installing an outdoor solar battery, it must achieve the high protection class IP65 for water ingress
- If installed indoors, carefully choose the location to avoid being disturbed by the noise of the battery’s cooling fan

To determine the best-size battery for your needs, review the export data for your home. By assessing how much spare electricity your home exports to the grid on a typical day, you’ll be in a good position to decide on the right-sized battery.
An experienced home battery storage installer near you will be able to help you do the calculations.
