FAQS 4

What is the new battery storage guideline?

The new guideline sets a clear standard for how battery storage systems should be installed to minimize the risk of fires and other incidents. The guideline is specifically designed to provide practical guidance for the installation of batteries in both commercial and residential buildings, as well as in free-standing outdoor structures.

Is there a fire code for solar & battery systems?

While there’s currently no single fire code specifically for PV and battery systems, the emphasis is on risk assessment, proper design, professional installation, and ongoing maintenance. 1. Ensure Proper Installation by Certified Professionals Always use MCS-certified installers for solar and battery systems.

Are energy storage systems required in the 2015 NFPA 1?

While the 2015 versions of the IFC and NFPA 1 do contain some requirements for energy storage systems, they are few compared to the 2018 and 2021 versions. The ESS requirements in the 2018 version, while certainly more restrictive than the 2015 version, are relatively modest.

Are solar PV systems a fire hazard?

Solar PV systems and battery storage are electrical systems—often high voltage—and like any electrical installation, they can present a risk of fire when damaged, poorly maintained, or incorrectly installed.
