Hi Lorenzo--Simpliphi's website has a a blurb about their batteries being 9540
listed with Sol-Ark. Here's the link:

Maybe the paperwork is in the mail.
As a side note, we did two Sol-Arks with Simpliphi last year and it works fine.
Sol-Ark has recently added a generator test start function to its firmware. The
system 15kW generator starts and runs for 20 minutes every Monday morning. The
system remains grid-tied, so the genny is getting no load exercise.

Wrenches,
We have recently had an AHJ reject our Solark 12k system with Simpliphi
batteries stating:"Energy storage systems are required to be listed per UL 9540
per NEC 706.5 (See also Annex A in the NEC, under energy storage systems). The
Sol-Ark system is not listed and tested per UL 9540 but is only listed per UL
1741. The complete system (ie. batteries, inverter, and any other components
associated with the energy storage system) must be listed per UL 9540. Please
provide documentation and certification sheets (from a Nationally Recognized
Testing Lab (NRTL)) for both the batteries and SolArk inverter to show that all
components are tested and certified per UL 9540. If it cannot be shown that the
batteries are tested and listed with SolArk inverters per UL 9540, then such
system cannot be installed and a different system that is listed and tested per
UL 9540 must be chosen for the project.
Have any of you run into this with Solark? Is the plans-checker in the wrong
about the entire system needing to meet the standard and not just the
batteries? The code language is kind of confusing. I can't find any
documentation on Solark's website regarding UL 9540. I know Tesla and Simpliphi
have recently put out documentation regarding this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
