Technical FAQs 4

How far apart should a generator be from a wall?

The general rule-of-thumb is to leave 5 feet between generators and between a generator and other equipment, walls, or obstructions. AHJ’s recommend that a system installer maintain the 5 foot separation wherever possible and only rely on the exceptions when absolutely necessary for a particular installation.

How much space is needed between generators & property boundaries?

The NEC typically requires a minimum 2-foot gap between generators and property boundaries. This spacing helps in mitigating acoustic impact on neighbors and provides accessible space for inspection and maintenance without encroaching on adjacent properties. Local regulations may set more stringent limits for noise control and safety.

Why do generators need a minimum clearance between combustible materials?

Compliance with these codes not only protects lives and property but also aligns installations with insurance and local authority demands. The NEC mandates a minimum 3-foot clearance between generators and any combustible materials, such as wood, drywall, or insulation.

How far apart should storage units be positioned?

Therefore, if you install multiple storage units, you have to space them three feet apart unless the manufacturer has already done large-scale fire testing and can prove closer spacing will not cause fire to propagate between adjacent units.
