Space for Battery: Keep the Base battery system at least 3 feet from all windows, doors, and gas meter vent outlets, per safety codes (NFPA 855 & NFPA 54).
Main Panel Placement: Main panels cannot be placed in closets, as they must stay away from flammable materials (NEC 240.24(D)).
Meter Height: Meters must be installed no higher than 6 feet off the ground for safe access, as per local utility rules.
Interlock for Portable Generators: If using a plug-in portable generator, install an interlock on the main panel to ensure safe operation (NEC 702.4(B)).
Clear Space in Front of Meter and Main Panel: Maintain at least 30 x 36 inches of clear space in front of the meter and main panel for easy access and safety (NEC 110.26(A)(1)).
Meter and Conduit Integrity: Ensure the meter and conduit are securely attached and undamaged to meet installation standards (NEC 110.12(B)).
If your home does not meet NEC standards, Base can help recommend a local electrician to assist with tasks like installing an interlock or relocating a main panel. Once your home meets code, you’re good to go.
