Protecting Home Battery and Inverter Installations
Home battery storage units and string inverters are increasingly mounted outside on a garage wall, carport or side of the house, exposed to direct sun, rain and dust that the manufacturer's casing was not always designed to handle long term.
A well-fitted cover shields the unit from weather and UV degradation while leaving the cooling vents and cable glands clear, protecting your investment without voiding the manufacturer's warranty conditions around ventilation.
UV-Stable Plastics for Outdoor Solar Equipment
HDPE sheet is a popular choice for battery and inverter covers because it is naturally UV-stable, will not become brittle in direct sun the way some plastics do, and shrugs off the knocks that happen in a garage or carport.
Polycarbonate suits installations where you want a clear or tinted panel so the unit's status display remains visible, while rigid PVC is a lighter, budget-friendly option for covers in more sheltered locations.
Flat Panels vs Vacuum-Formed Covers
Flat panels cut and CNC-routed to size work well as simple angled roofs or side shields that sit above and around the unit, and are the fastest and most affordable option for straightforward installations.
For a fully enclosed, moulded cover that wraps around the unit's shape, we can vacuum-form a one-piece shell from HDPE or PVC sheet, giving a neater, more finished look for street-facing installations.
Ventilation and Cable Entry Considerations
Every cover is designed around the unit's existing vents so airflow is not restricted, with the cover standing clear of the casing rather than sealing against it.
Cable entry points for solar DC leads, battery cabling and earth connections are worked into the cut pattern from the start, so an installer is not left drilling holes in a finished cover on the day of installation.
Custom Covers for Any Battery or Inverter Model
Send us the make and model of your battery or inverter, or simply the dimensions of the unit, and we will confirm whether a flat panel or vacuum-formed cover is the better fit.
All covers are fabricated on the Gold Coast and shipped Australia-wide, with ex GST pricing based on material and size. Get a quote for a custom solar battery or inverter cover.
