My Canadian province doesn't allow battery storage in homes. At best if you have a garage you can put one there but other than that no other choice. Outside is not an option since it gets to -20C here in the winter.
One local person spent thousands of dollars only to find that out. The electrician and province should be sued by the homeowner for lack of info and lost money.
- hedora 3y agoCouldn’t they put the batteries in a heated shed?
- dghughes 3y agoHeated sheds are not common here. Most if not all don't have any power. I guess if batteries were in it then it could heat using the same batteries. But you'd still need to run a line from the shed to the house anyway to distribute the power. Minimum three feet deep the correct gauge and encased in the appropriate conduit sent to a subpanel then the main panel. That's a lot of time work and effort.
