ØRead through the Guidance before installation to understand product
information and safety precautions;
4.1 Basic Installation Requirements
ØThe battery system can be installed indoors or outdoors. The angle and space
requirements are as follows:
Figure 4-1: Wall-mounted installation
Note: A maximum of five batteries can be wall-mounted.
Ensure that load capacity of the wall exceeds 280kg.
Figure 4-2: Floor-mounted installation
It's recommended that battery modules are installed in two columns if there are more
than 4 of them.
Note: For floor mounted installation, a maximum of six batteries can be stacked.
Do not place the battery pack upside down.
ØWhen installing outdoors, it is necessary to install sunshades and rain shelters to avoid
direct exposure to sunlight and rain.
