I flipped a light switch on this morning in the dark & saw a tiny minor spark
it does not take much........

My interpretation of this is that he wants to make sure that the battery cannot
ignite a flammable vapor cloud from gasoline being spilled in the garage. If
he's saying that no electrical equipment that might create a spark (such as
with a relay or switch or circuit breaker) can be below 18", that may be the
case. I might be completely off base here, but I don't think it has anything
to do with it being a battery really, but just a piece of electrical equipment
that might have relays or sparking things inside? Maybe? In which case...
does the 5p have any relays or contactors, or is it's BMS all solid state? And
second question would be can you document that.

---------------------------------
Seeking your suggestions and direction. My AHJ - after acknowledging that the
Enphase 5p battery has a floor mount option - now insists that it must be
18-inches above the garage floor unless I can produce something that says it is
"Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant."
We all know there is no open flame from an ESS and I know the 9540A depicts a
battery at 6-inches.
Anybody run into this and have suggestions on what I might show back to the AHJ?
