    Powerwall install location

    Thanks @miimura and @BGbreeder for replies! FWIW @miimura the install manual available from Telsa (page 41) gives very small clearances: Minimum clearance from left side (air intake) 2 in (50 mm) Minimum clearance from right side (air exhaust) 6 in (150 mm) Minimum clearance above...

    Powerwall install location

    Given the only servicable part of a powerwall is the switch on the side, would a single powerwall install with say just 12" of front clearance and 12" of right-side clearance inside a fire closet be sufficient? i.e. enough that someone can easily operate the switch.

    Powerwall install location

    Thanks all for replies! @bayareaever - Yeah definitely Powerwall+ won't fit, in this case it's just a single powerwall2, which seems to only need 45" + 2" vertical clearance above (I'd still have nearly 2'). Mostly wondering as there may be a working headroom type requirement. @BGbreeder /...

    Powerwall install location

    Hello- I have a single powerwall getting installed soon and want to know if either Tesla or NEC/California building code would disallow putting the powerwall in an unfinished basement/dug-out crawl space on concrete slab where there's only 5'10" working height below the floor joists. Ideally...
