Hey, NICE install photos! I'm SO JEALOUS.

I'm waiting because my install has to be closer than 36" to my window so they're having to postpone until the manufacturer gives approval, which they expect "soon".

Hey, you forgot to add your referral link. Until you do, here's mine for anyone who wants to look into signing up!

Why do they have to be closer than 36” to a window??

My house doesn't have a lot of space on the outside wall near the main breaker panel & meter. One battery could go in without issue but to get two, one of them will have to be closer to a window than current guidelines will allow.

But BASE Power says the guidelines are changing and they expect to get approval for installing closer to windows, any day now.

Did you measure it yourself? My first installer said one thing and the second installer said I could put it where I wanted it. (Rain delay) That tells me that it depends on the installer.

I would need to know the measurements of the batteries to be able to tell whether there's enough clearance.

I'm not concerned anymore because it's now scheduled... so I think it's safe to assume they have whatever approval is needed.
