This white paper outlines the safety issues at stake in energy storage projects, and explains how fire testing to UL 9540A standards helps project stakeholders address safety issues and meet expectations of the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs). NFPA Standards that. . While properly installed systems by qualified professionals must follow current safety codes, solar fires do happen. That's why the Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) funded the Solar Training and Education for Professionals (STEP) program, which provides tools to more than 10,000 firefighters. . Growing concerns about the use of fossil fuels and greater demand for a cleaner, more eficient, and more resilient energy grid has led to the use of energy storage systems (ESS), and that use has increased substantially over the past decade. The solar industry is experiencing a steady and significant increase in interest in energy storage systems and their. . Solar+storage project developers are operating in a dynamic regulatory environment where basic requirements can vary with time and location, leading to project delays and increased costs.
