One day before my install, I still didn't know where 2 PW, GW, or inverter were going to be located. I wanted them in the garage and told the site inspector prior, but that was months prior. I called in, got thru to someone who emailed me a tiny unreadable pic of the install plan, but I still couldn't tell if they were going to be in the garage or outside. I told her I wanted everything inside the garage, and she said she'd relay that message, and I also said if they plan to put anything outside I will cancel and they can revise the plan and come back later.
The next day, the crew came and were very accommodating on installing everything inside the garage where I wanted while also following codes/rules. I asked to install the PWs in the front corner of my garage right next to the garage door (there's 2ft wide empty space, behind which is a 18" wide HFX steel sheer frame and impossible to drive into unless I ram my car into the house from the outside) but they said they'd need to install bollards to prevent hitting them with a car and it would cost extra $6k. So instead the PWs are in the middle of my garage, where I can actually ram into them with my car if I wanted to. But it's up to code and passed city inspection..
