Hey Everyone,

 

While looking at various batteries and their specifications online I noticed on the battery spec and datasheet that hubble has a built in fire suppression system.

 

I'm curious as to how this works?

Does the battery release fire suppression gas if it detects a fire?

I find this particularly interesting and wonder if one can use this to some form of an advantage to renegotiate the insurance premium for specified / insured residential solar systems.

I would not be surprised if COCT and insurance companies make this a sub standard requirement for residential solar systems with battery backup in the near future.

 

 

 

 

 

Probably because they are NMC batteries. I doubt your insurance will take this into account.

It does not release any gas. It's not an "active" system. It just has a fire suppression blanked around the cells. The idea is to contain inside the fire, in case it breaks out. You can search the forum for @Leshen's Hubble internals pictures, to see what it looks like.

Thanks I'll dive into his posts to see internal pics

I think they realized the youtube videos going around about NMC can scare customers away and by adding this feature might level the playing field again.
