Commercial battery installation types
Containerised or indoor, retrofit or standalone, resilience or EV-buffer — each is sized, sited and connected differently. Every one runs on the same disciplines: a survey from half-hourly data, an early G99 application, a fire strategy to the commercial references (the IET Code of Practice, not the dwellings standard PAS 63100), and witnessed commissioning. This site is an independent guide, not an installer.
