Hello,
there are frequent concerns about the potential fire risk posed by batteries in photovoltaic systems and how difficult they can be to extinguish. I would be interested to know where you have installed your batteries and what precautions you have taken in case of fire. Photos are also welcome!
Thank you!

According to the online portal "Photovoltaik Magazine," a 30kWh battery exploded in a single-family house in Lauterbach on Friday, 06.10.
According to the homeowner, it was a LiFePo4 battery. Yes, however, the homeowner’s statements should be treated with caution based on other articles. Especially since other reports about this specific case mention smoke development (one person was even treated) before the explosion occurred. Because LiFePo4 batteries do not typically burn like lithium-ion batteries, if these reports are accurate, there may have been another factor involved.
As a homeowner, I also would not admit to having built a DIY battery storage system myself or storing other “hazardous” materials in the basement.
Senec’s batteries have been under criticism for some time now; something is not working right (keyword: conditioning operation). LG also seems to be experiencing issues.
Otherwise, the likelihood of being struck by lightning is higher than a photovoltaic system catching fire or exploding—at least based on the known damage cases.
