When installing a battery to power a solar system, it is best to follow a particular sequence of work to complete the day successfully.
Survey and Prep Work
It all starts with a survey of your property and roof to see if it can support the Solar Battery Storage system. Additionally, your installer will look at where you can run cables and check if your existing Consumer Unit has the room for the new system. Precision Green Energy’s surveyors can complete a survey of your Cirencester property within a few days of contact.
Choosing Where the Battery Goes
Typically, a solar battery is a wall-mounted unit, usually found in a garage, utility room or even under the stairs. It’s essential the location chosen is dry, cool and near the consumer unit to keep cable lengths to a minimum.
Routing the Cables
An electrician then runs the DC cables down from the inverter to the battery and the AC cables across to connect to the consumer unit. For older Cirencester properties, cable routing will often involve lifting floorboards to run cables through rooms or even threading cables up through the ceiling voids of rooms above.
Connecting to the Consumer Unit
Stage 6: Connect to the Consumer Unit. The circuit breaker for the dedicated solar battery storage system needs to be installed and then the rest of the wiring completed and connected in.
