Alright, wall mounted or rack mounted?
Wall mounted batteries look slick. In theory. They're space savers, right? That's what they want you to believe. Ever try installing one in a cramped basement? Sure, on paper, it sounds efficient, but reality hits different. Here's what nobody tells you: these things need a solid structure, lest they pull a chunk out of your drywall. If you're renting, good luck getting your deposit back.
Rack mounts: Stability or just more clutter?
Now, rack mounted batteries — those beasts — seem industrial. They sit there, demanding floorspace. You know what you're dealing with. Why? Because they're honest about their bulk. And if you've got the room? They offer easier access. You can, get your hands on them without squeezing into a corner. I lost a $2M deal because someone underestimated the footprint of rack mounts. You reading this—don't be that person.
Installation nightmares: pick your poison
You think installation is the only headache, think again. Let's banish this myth of easy setups. With wall mounts, it's all about alignment; even a fraction off — and you'll be back to square one. As for racks, be prepared for some heavy lifting and bolt securing; if you're not the DIY type, find someone who is.
Capacity and customization: Dubios promises?
People tout the customization options of rack mount systems. Mix and match cells, they say. But, is it really that simple? Not unless you're ready to wrestle with compatibility. On the wall mount side, you might limit your options. It's neat, uniform — but what if you need more power? our OEM clients kept asking for more flexibility, so we had to develop solutions ourselves. Why does nobody mention the hidden constraints?
The hidden cost factor
Never just look at the upfront price. Rack mounts might seem cheaper, especially if you're eyeballing used ones — but factor in the accessories and extended labor. Then again, wall mounts tempt with their compact design but check twice for hidden fees, those little brackets aren't free.
Final thoughts (without concluding anything)
So which is better? Neither. It’s not about which is superior; it's about what's right for you. Size, location, budget — weigh these, or pay the price later. If you're planning for Q3 and need a quick install, wall mounts might deliver. We deliver in 21 days because we own the sheet metal factory, so, it's kinda our thing.
