I have recently installed CQ6 batteries with 15kw H3 smart inverter on the West wall so it gets the afternoon sun for 1-2hrs therefore was planning on getting a battery cover such as

However, the manual I believe states batteries need at least 300mm clearance on all sides for proper ventilation.

Does that mean that this battery cover will void the warranty? I have seen many others install similar so I thought it was fine but please share your opinions.

A large battery cover should technically maintain the clearance requirements of 300mm. If you accidentally overheat your batteries and cause damage, you won't have any warranty.

Are you able to see the one in the amazon link I posted? It seems to close in the front but sides and top look okay with 300mn clearance?

Also will direct sunlight void warranty?
