[QUOTE="Mrjmegson, post: 541714, member: 35426"] For mainly the reason of high and low temps, I avoided the loft, and put my system under my stairs, which also happens to be where the CU is anyway, so super convenient. The stairs are in the centre of the house, so the under stair cupboard always stays at a very stable temp, which is great for all the equipment. Despite reading that life-po4 batteries don't self combust, and also don't really stay lit if you can get them going, with two inverters and all that wiring, I completely fire boarded the room out, every inch, all butt joints have heat resistant silicone in them, and I have a smoke detector in there with them. No point taking any chances, especially when boarding it out only cost a few hundred, and made mounting everything much easier than mounting to my awful walls. [/QUOTE]
