Read the height row carefully. Those heights are the datasheet's stack figures for BAT 8.0 modules with the SigenStor Energy Controller on top and the base fitted, floor/ground-mounted. So a 3-module stack = 1180 mm tall × 850 wide × 260 deep including the controller — that is the footprint envelope to mark up on site, not the bare battery modules.

General data — battery

  • Ingress protection: IP66 (outdoor rated)
  • Cooling: natural convection (no fans — needs free air)
  • Operating temp: −20 to +55 °C
  • Storage temp: −25 to +60 °C
  • Relative humidity: 5 – 95 %
  • Max. operating altitude: 4000 m
  • Install method: floor standing or wall mounted
  • Standards: IEC/EN 60730-1, UN 38.3, IEC/EN 62619, 63056, 62040
Wall-mount check: a 2-module 8.0 stack is ~183 kg, 3-module ~254 kg. If it's going on a wall, confirm framing/dwangs and fixing centres on site — floor standing is the default for anything 3 modules or more.

3. On-site measure checklist

ItemMeasured / noted
Wall length available for battery stack (need ≥ 850 mm wide + working clearance)
Floor-to-obstruction height at battery position (vs 640 / 910 / 1180 / 1450 / 1720 / 1990 mm)
Clear depth in front of stack (unit is 260 mm deep + access)
Floor level / slab condition + base fixing (up to 467 kg on 6 modules)
Battery mount decision: floor standing or wall — framing confirmed?
Gateway wall space: 495 × 370 × 165 (SP) or 510 × 750 × 179 (TP)
Gateway mounting height + fixings (12 kg SP / 23 kg TP)
Distance gateway → main switchboard (grid tails, 54.6 A SP / 91.2 A TP)
Backup subboard location + cable route/length
Non-backup circuit route (single phase only — TP has no non-backup port)
Distance gateway → inverter / Energy Controller (INV1 / INV2 / INV3)
Ethernet / RS485 comms run — router location, cable route
Generator? smart port cable route + 2-wire start pair
EV charger now or later? (7 kW SP / 11–22 kW TP) — route + conduit
Conduit / cable entry points and stub-up positions marked
PV string route to inverter position
Ventilation / sun exposure at battery position (natural convection, −20…+55 °C)
Earthing / bonding point
Photos taken of switchboard + proposed positions
