According to NFPA 855, individual energy storage system units should generally be separated by at least three feet, unless the manufacturer has conducted large-scale fire testing (part of UL 9540A) to prove a smaller distance is safe. This prevents a fault in one unit from spreading. Clearance refers to the empty space you must maintain around the battery cabinet. This space allows for adequate airflow, safe maintenance access, and separation from potential hazards. Always consult your manufacturer's installation manual first, as its requirements may exceed these general.

In March 2025, Germany's largest battery storage system – located in Bollingstedt, Schleswig-Holstein – was connected to the grid. 5 megawatts of power and has an energy capacity of 238 megawatt-hours. Installed capacity hit 2 GW last quarter - and could reach 3 GW before the end of 2025. From ESS News When pv magazine in February estimated Germany's electricity transmission system. Germany's transmission and distribution system operators now face over 500 GW of battery energy storage system connection requests, representing more than eight times the country's peak electricity demand. This surge from 340 GW in February to 470.
