Smoke alarm question

Also with solar would you put a smoke in a loft, this wasnt really covered. A solar team told me only if its covering the battery but the aico guy seemed to say if anything was up there including the inverter 

I asked about "loft space" - BS 5839 offers no definition. However, it says, 11.1.1 Category LD systems ... In 2019 it is increasingly common for electrical equipment to be installed in loft spaces, particularly in premises fitted with photovoltaic power systems and other plant (e.g. boilers). In such cases, a Cetegory LD2 system needs to incorporate a smoke detector within the loft space.

We discussed, the meaning of, "loft space". We concluded that it is a space beneath the roof which can be entered by an ordinary door or hatch-door, etc. However, if there are vertical partitions, the eves space on the other side is not part of the loft space.
