Wrenches, Section 64 of the 2015 Canadian Electrical Code covers Renewable Energy Systems. Rule 64-800(3) states...
1. Storage batteries for dwelling units shall have the cells connected so as to operate at less than 50 V nominal. Note the word "for". It appears that this rule may restrict the use of higher voltage lithium ion batteries (PowerWall and similar Panasonic home storage that i've heard of) FOR dwellings regardless of where it is installed (detached or attached garage or even a separate shed) Based on the short text that i've included, does anyone interpret it differently or know of another rule in the CEC that may be a work-around? For the NEC'ers... i only have a copy of the 2011 NEC and haven't read it cover to cover yet ;) but is there a similar rule in there regarding storage battery voltage FOR dwellings?
