Description
In the world of residential solar and EV charging, space is the ultimate luxury. Commercial barriers often waste home space. They create trip hazards and block car doors. The MAD Safety 63mm surface mount battery bollard solves this compliance headache. It offers a slim, 3mm thick galvanised steel barrier. This satisfies electrical inspectors and keeps the garage functional.
Why a Dedicated Battery Bollard Ensures Compliance
AS/NZS 5139:2019 sets strict rules for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Installers must protect units in “vehicle movement zones” from impact. A physical barrier is mandatory if an inspector anticipates vehicle damage. Without a compliant battery bollard, you risk a withheld Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES). You also face costly return visits.
Master the "Trailing Edge" Rule
Installers often make the mistake of using a single central post. Solar Victoria certifiers expect protection across the entire “exclusion zone.” You must protect both the leading and trailing edges of the unit. Using a pair of low-profile battery bollards gives you total coverage. It also prevents the garage from looking like a warehouse.
Heavy-Duty Engineering, Residential Aesthetic
Don’t let the slim 63mm profile fool you. We build this battery bollard from high-grade galvanised steel. It also features a heavy-duty 6mm thick base plate.
Key features include:
- Impact Deflection: Protects the integrity of sensitive lithium-ion cells.
- High Visibility: Safety Yellow finish stands out clearly during the day.
- Dual Protection: Safeguards both the BESS unit and the vehicle.
