Placement & Installation Guide

Using Map Editors (CodeWalker)

1. Download the Solar Batteries for Buildings prop pack
2. Install CodeWalker (the industry-standard GTA V map editor)
3. Open your server’s map project in CodeWalker
4. Import the solar battery YDR models into your available props list
5. Navigate to the building exterior where you want to place solar equipment
6. Select a battery pack size appropriate for the wall space
7. Place the battery pack on an exterior wall, typically near utility meters or garage areas
8. Position 1-1.5 meters from the ground for realistic mounting height
9. Add matching inverter boxes nearby (usually within 2-3 meters)
10. Rotate props to sit flush against walls using rotation tools
11. Duplicate and arrange multiple battery packs for larger installations
12. Export your modified map as a YMap resource
13. Add the resource to your FiveM server and load it in server.cfg
14. Restart server and verify placements look natural

Using In-Game Object Spawners

1. Install the prop pack files to your server resources
2. Use an admin object spawner menu (vMenu, object placement tools)
3. Search for “solar battery” or browse prop categories
4. Spawn battery packs at your location
5. Use positioning tools to mount them against building walls
6. Adjust height to realistic mounting positions
7. Add inverters and additional battery packs as desired
8. Save coordinates for permanent placement or use object persistence systems

Script-Based Spawning

For server owners comfortable with scripting, you can create a resource that automatically spawns solar installations at predetermined coordinates:

local solarProps = {
    {model = `prop_solarbattery_01`, coords = vector3(x, y, z), rotation = vector3(0.0, 0.0, 90.0)},
    {model = `prop_solarinverter_01`, coords = vector3(x, y, z), rotation = vector3(0.0, 0.0, 90.0)},
    -- Add more installations
}

CreateThread(function()
    for _, prop in ipairs(solarProps) do
        local object = CreateObject(prop.model, prop.coords, false, false, false)
        SetEntityRotation(object, prop.rotation, 2, true)
        FreezeEntityPosition(object, true)
    end
end)

Realistic Placement Tips

• Location Selection – Solar batteries are typically installed on exterior walls with southern exposure (in the Northern Hemisphere) or near electrical panels
• Height Guidelines – Mount 1-1.5 meters from ground level for easy service access while protecting from flooding
• Spacing – Leave 0.3-0.5 meters between multiple battery units for ventilation and maintenance access
• Inverter Proximity – Place inverters within 2-3 meters of battery packs as they would be in real installations
• Wall Compatibility – Work best on flat, unobstructed exterior walls; avoid placing on windows or doors
• Property Types – Single units work for small homes; use 2-4 packs for mansions; 6+ for commercial buildings
• Cable Runs – Consider adding conduit or cable management props running from batteries to roof for solar panel connections
• Utility Meters – Place near existing utility meter props for cohesive infrastructure appearance
• Garage Walls – Garage exterior walls are authentic locations for battery installations
• Avoid Over-Detailing – Not every building needs solar; use selectively on modern, high-end, or eco-conscious properties

Creative Uses & Roleplay Integration

Solar Installation Business

Create a solar installation company roleplay job where electricians visit properties, place battery systems, and charge for installations. Use these props as job-completion evidence and create before/after scenarios.

Off-Grid Living Scenarios

Build self-sufficient compounds with extensive solar battery arrays, creating roleplay around sustainable living, power management during outages, or survivalist communities.

Utility Company Roleplay

Develop utility company jobs where workers inspect, maintain, or repair solar installations, creating service call missions and technical roleplay opportunities.

Environmental Activism

Use solar-equipped buildings as examples of eco-friendly infrastructure for environmental activist characters or green energy advocacy organizations.

Property Value Differentiation

Equip premium properties with solar battery systems to justify higher purchase or rental prices in real estate scripts, creating visual markers of luxury and sustainability.

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: Props floating away from walls or clipping through

Solution: Ensure you’re using precise coordinate placement in your map editor. Use CodeWalker’s snap-to-surface tools or manually adjust X/Y coordinates to position props flush against walls. Remember that FiveM coordinates are extremely precise—small adjustments matter.

Issue: Battery packs appear too large or small for the building

Solution: Use different battery pack sizes from the collection. Single units work for small homes, while multi-pack arrays suit mansions and commercial buildings. Scale should feel proportional to the property size.

Issue: Props not appearing after installation

Solution: Verify the prop resource is properly installed and loaded in server.cfg. Check that model hashes match exactly. Restart the server fully rather than just restarting the resource. Confirm no errors in server console or F8 client console.

Issue: Performance drops with many solar installations

Solution: While these props are optimized, placing hundreds of objects can impact performance. Use strategic placement on key properties rather than every building. Consider adjusting streaming distances or using LOD models if available.

FAQ

Q: Do these solar batteries actually function or generate power?

A: No, these are purely decorative props for visual enhancement. They don’t have any functional electricity generation or storage capabilities. They’re designed for aesthetic realism and roleplay immersion.

Q: Can I use these with any framework (ESX, QBCore)?

A: Yes! These are framework-independent prop models that work on any FiveM server regardless of framework. They’re simple map objects with no script dependencies.

Q: How many battery configurations are included?

A: The pack includes multiple sizes and configurations to fit different wall spaces—typically ranging from single wall-mounted units to multi-battery arrays. Check the download contents for the complete list of included models.

Q: Can players interact with the solar batteries?

A: By default, no—they’re static props. However, you could script interactions like inspection prompts, maintenance jobs, or informational displays using targeting systems like ox_target or qb-target pointing at the prop coordinates.

Q: Will these work on custom MLO interiors?

A: These props are designed for exterior building walls, but you could place them inside warehouse or industrial MLO interiors if your scenario calls for indoor battery storage. They work anywhere you can place props.

Q: Can I change the colors or textures?

A: Yes, if you have texture editing skills. You can modify the YTD texture files in tools like OpenIV or Photoshop to create custom colors or add company branding. Just maintain file format compatibility.

Q: Do I need solar panel props to go with these batteries?

A: Not required, but solar panels on rooftops would complete the realistic installation. Search for separate solar panel prop packs to add roof-mounted panels that logically connect to your battery systems.

Q: How do I determine the right number of battery packs for a property?

A: Think about property size and energy needs. Small homes: 1-2 packs. Medium homes: 2-3 packs. Large mansions: 4-6 packs. Commercial buildings: 6-12+ packs. Match the installation scale to the property’s apparent power consumption.

Q: Can I include these in my custom map release?

A: Check the download license terms. Many free prop packs allow redistribution in custom maps with proper credit, but always verify the creator’s specific licensing requirements.

Q: Are these based on real solar battery products?

A: Yes, these props are modeled after real-world residential solar battery systems like Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem RESU, and similar home energy storage units, providing authentic contemporary aesthetics.
