A new proposed battery safety standard would stop the installation of solar power systems' battery packs, which have been described as the "future of energy".
Consultation is open on the standard, which would ban lithium ion batteries inside a dwelling, under the eaves of a house or within a metre of it. Installed beyond that distance, the batteries would have to be in a fireproof enclosure.
Companies such as Vector are promoting battery packs, such as Tesla's Powerwall, as part of solar energy systems.
