Protection against fire of battery energy storage systems (BESS) for use in dwellings. As an installer, we take fire safety of our client’s installations very seriously. We would always recommend locating storage batteries outside the home and away from rooms used for living.
Safety is paramount when it comes to battery storage. Batteries, especially lithium-ion batteries, can pose fire and safety risks if damaged or exposed to extreme conditions. If you choose to install batteries indoors, ensure that they are placed in a well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.
If you have ample indoor space, storing batteries indoors's often more convenient and safer. However, if indoor space is limited, outdoor installation may be necessary, provided proper protective measures are taken. Safety is paramount when it comes to battery storage.
Domestic battery storage is a relatively new technology which is rapidly evolving. Prices are falling and this may mean they will be more frequently installed with solar PV systems in future. Batteries come in different capacities and outputs. Early models like the Maslow and PowerFlow Sundial batteries could store 2 kWh or 2 units of electricity.
One of PAS 63100's main focus areas is its discussion of where to install solar batteries to reduce fire risk in dwellings. Paragraph 6.5.1 states that storage batteries should be installed outdoors, where practicable.
To minimise the risk of batteries becoming a fire hazard, a new British Standard covering fire safety for home battery storage installations came into force on 31 March 2024. The standard is – PAS 63100:2024: Electrical installations. Protection against fire of battery energy storage systems (BESS) for use in dwellings.
