Delivery came yesterday and I'm a bit surprised by the size. One 5kWh unit measures about 460 by 355mm on the face, so it's more of a squat microwave-sized box than a PC tower, nothing like the tall cabinet I'd pictured. Had mentally reserved half the garage wall for it and it doesn't need the height, the width's not far off though.

Mounting it on the garage wall next to the consumer unit, the electrician is coming Friday. Cable run is going to be less than a metre.

For anyone who's already got theirs installed, how much clearance did you leave around it for ventilation? The manual says 100mm but wondering if people are giving it more in practice.
