So... are u saying the way ppl put batteries and inverter in plastic box wouldnt be acceptable?It is required that the area below and in front of a electrical panel has to be clear for safe working access. This applies to anything not just batteries.
They are from San Tan Solar. use that in the search. Will did a review on them a few months back. I have a direct contact for them if you do not find an email in the comments of that video.Makes sense cuz I found that while looking for an inverter.
I've been saving panels and cables to last. I do recall something about anti-reflective concerning panels; but, like I said, havent crossed that bridge yet.
Earlier today, now cant find where saw them lol, ran across like $50 200w portable/foldable panels. Very curious to re-find them. Were 100v but included charger. Want check that out as battery charger.
I watched that. The 100v is throwing me. Will look. Did find some 100a but pretty sure it said 100v.They are from San Tan Solar. use that in the search. Will did a review on them a few months back. I have a direct contact for them if you do not find an email in the comments of that video.

Well, then how Tesla installs their Powerwalls attached to the house inside or outside?NEC 2016/7 (sorry i forgot which year the update came out) required me to put my battery bank outside and 5 feet from the building and property line. I read the regs myself, it's in there.
U were grandfathered in since u had it before the update BUT u sound like me = I try to abide by every rule. Been thru that crap before where code enforcement came down on me. (Started over an antique car 1975 where question was 'can be un-registered if being restored'.Well, then how Tesla installs their Powerwalls attached to the house inside or outside?

Also, good friend gave great advice = When inspector comes, dont jump his crap when he doesnt like something. Instead, just ask how can I make it right.
Oh no. Everything I checked had batteries exempt from UL Listed requirement.Their battery (and a few others) is UL listed as an assembly.
I guess I should have clarified, unless you use a UL listed (for home energy storage) battery it must be 5 ft from buildings, prop line, etc.
The current code update requires any battery to be UL listed for the purpose, no DIY could be permitted.
Does using a direct contact make a difference?I watched that. The 100v is throwing me. Will look. Did find some 100a but pretty sure it said 100v.

Appearing my gut feeling, County Ordinances are updating fast to catch up with tech growth, is correct = get on with the program and quick.
What batteries did u find that were UL listed? Would save me a lot of time.
Exempt is word I'm using to summarize. There's a long process I do to verify UL. Hence starting this post.Many of the expensive ready to use batteries are UL listed. In my experience they may not be DIY friendly.
Tesla, Enphase, Simplifi, whatever Generac has named the battery back up company they purchased.
It's been a while since I hunted and planned, so I am sure there are others I am forgetting and new options.
What do you mean exempt from UL listing? I'm not sure how who would decide it was exempt. That seems more like an excuse to not get UL listing.
