Do you need a permit for a home battery?

Until then, these devices fall under the existing regulations for electrical installations. This ensures that before installing your home battery;A licensed installer must be engaged. Blauhoff only works with licensed professionals so this is no problem at all. After completing the installation, the installer will give you an inspection certificate.
