CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION CYCLE
SECTION 3.4 Risk assesment/compliance to standards
The APbattery can power your home by combing with a PCS to store PV generated
electricity to create a solution for residential and light commercial properties.
Installation standards vary between countries and as such we recommend in all cases
that you check with your local standards authority before you commit to installing our
energy storage system. This document does not address health, safety, electrical or
building regulations matters, a site assessment and works method statement should be
completed prior to commencing the installation.
SECTION 3.5 Requirements for wall or support
WARNING
The APbattery should be installed to a wall capable of supporting its weight, interior walls are
preferred but where installation is on an exterior wall it should be protected from direct rain contact
and sunlight.
Local building regulations and standards should be observed to consider any fire ratings that may be
applicable.
Mounting position
The APbattery can be installed indoors or outdoors .Given the cooling and water-proof
factors of the machine, it is advisable to install the APbattery in a well ventilated and
sheltered place lest it is affected by direct sun radiation, rain, snow and others, so as to
lengthen the operation life of the PCS and the battery.

CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION CYCLE
Mounting Angle
The APbattery should be installed vertically or tilted no more than 15°
Do not install the APbattery on a forward-leaning or horizontal plane.
Install the APbattery on a solid and ventilated surface.
SECTION 3.6 Identify a suitable location for the APbattery
Make sure the weight capacity of bracket location is greater than 80kg.
Make sure the location is not easily accessible by children and in an area free from
explosive or corrosive atmospheres.
For residential installations the energy storage is typically located in a secure
location shielded from direct sunlight and rain.
The APbattery must be mounted vertically on a wall or pole. Do not mount
horizontally as adequate heat dissipation cannot be ensured.
Make sure the APbattery is mounted in a location where the ambient temperature
range is -10 to +45℃. The APbattery may shut down automatically if it excessive
heat or cold temperatures.
A space of at least 100mm to 300mm around the enclosure guarantees optimum
ventilation.
