I have for sump pumps where flooding in spring could ruin an entire down stairs & if it was a self-contained plugin style product UL/ETL listed, it was fine without a permit. If it required hard pipe connections it was a price based permit installation.
If it is test equipment & temporary & protected I would lean to the company's thoughts/request. Call the local permit office.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc. 208.721.7003 [email protected] Idaho Contractor - # 028765 Idaho PV # 028374 NABCEP # 051112-136 www.solarwork.biz "Responsible Technologies for Responsible People since 1988" Please consider the environment before printing this email. -----Original Message----- From: RE-wrenches [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jerry Caldwell Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 3:03 PM To: RE-wrenches <[email protected]> Subject: [RE-wrenches] Storage Battery Permitting Dear Wrenches, Has anyone installed storage battery systems with no PV or other generation source? I see no info on local building department websites about permitting storage batteries. I've heard one person refer to battery storage as a "energy storage appliance" and allege that no permits are required for this. I'm asking because I am bidding on a small battery only installation. It's pretty much just a battery pack and an inverter. The installation is a test installation for a company who writes software to manage battery installations. The management of this company sounded surprised when permits were mentioned. As always, any help is appreciated.
