Learn More about Battery Labelling
Labelling is now becoming crucial for battery installation and STC claim.
We suggest every installer double-check labels before leaving installation site. This can help avoid CER rejection and post-job rectification.
Switchboard Warning Label
We have received CER's interim interpretation that the multi-mode inverter warning label is required for every system with a hybrid inverter.
Regardless of actual backup circuit connections, you always need to attach this label to switchboard.
"Alternative Supply" Grouping Label
The alternative supply circuits grouping label is commonly overlooked. This label is mandatory when installing a system with a backup supply.
You should not only label and mark individual switches, but also use this label to clearly group all backup circuit switches.
Current and Voltage Sign
This safety warning sign is not directly mentioned in the published guide but is audited by CER.
You must fill in current and voltage for all batteries. "Hazardous D.C. Voltage" must be visible on DVC-B and DVC-C batteries.
For best practice, you may check with label kit supplier for these three labels, and prepare some extra labels in your own stock.
Self-learning Course (Eligible for CPD)
SAA has released its free Solar Battery Labelling Course, which can count towards your annual CPD points.
