Material
Made for the Australian outdoors.
Each cover is formed from 2.0 mm 5052 aluminium and finished in a textured, zinc-rich powder coat. Aluminium doesn’t rust the way steel does.
Ventilated covers for home batteries
Your battery, beautifully protected.
A 5052 aluminium shade that keeps harsh sun and rain off your home battery, with an open back, open bottom and open side vents so air keeps moving. It looks like it belongs on your home.

Size finder
The right cover, in about ten seconds.
Search for your battery, or type in its measurements. We recommend the smallest cover that still leaves room for air to move around it.
Each recommendation allows at least 25 mm each side, 60 mm above, 40 mm below and 30 mm in front of the battery. Always follow your battery maker's installation manual too.
Simple on the outside. Thought through everywhere else.
A Nova Shield is one clean aluminium shade. Here is what went into getting it right.
All sizes
Open side vents.
Both sides have tall open vents next to the wall. Air moves in from below and out the sides, and installers can reach the sides of the battery through the vents.
Airflow
Room for your battery to breathe.
The back and bottom are open, and the size finder leaves clear space around your battery. It’s a ventilated shade, not a sealed box.
The range
Six sizes. One standard of finish.
Every cover is 450 mm deep and drawn to scale below. Not sure which is yours? Use the size finder.
