Vale of Glamorgan Council

The primary challenge for Vale of Glamorgan Council was to integrate a battery storage solution into the solar energy system for these residential blocks while ensuring compliance with the newly introduced PAS 63100:2024 regulations. These regulations are designed to minimise the risk of batteries in dwellings becoming a fire hazard and to mitigate the impact should a battery fire occur. The council needed a solution that not only distributed solar energy effectively to the individual flats but also incorporated a safe and efficient battery storage system. This was especially challenging given the need for a community-based battery storage setup that could serve multiple flats from a single solar energy system.
