The BPE's are in an enclosed cabinet fire approved and protected from shock, putting batteries further away will create space issues.

Some of these battery systems are 24 inches deep or more. This seems to violate NEC 110.26 requirements for the other serviceable equipment, but the pictures are proudly displayed as models of success. Even slender Tesla Powerwalls stick out significantly when stacked 2 or 3 deep and would be more than 6 inches deeper than a standard load center. Sure, the battery cabinets make great places to rest tools while working, but does anyone else see this as problematic? </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Jason Szumlanski</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Florida Solar Design Group </div><img width="0" height="0" alt="" style="display:flex" src="https://mailtrack.io/trace/mail/bdd06583d462e3938bb1d19f5a2b8d4e4bf8dda6.png?u=1613865"></div>
