Technical FAQs 4

What are NFPA 855 requirements for energy storage systems?

Electrical and Wiring Safety – Proper electrical wiring and connections are critical for fire safety in energy storage systems. NFPA 855 outlines specific requirements for cable management, grounding, and circuit protection to ensure that electrical components do not pose a fire risk.

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 energy storage systems safe?

Energy storage systems, while essential for grid stability and renewable energy integration, present unique challenges when it comes to fire safety. Issues like thermal runaway, short circuits, and the flammability of certain materials can result in fires that are difficult to manage due to the stored energy within the system.

What are fire codes & standards?

Fire codes and standards inform ESS design and installation and serve as a backstop to protect homes, families, commercial facilities, and personnel, including our solar-plus-storage businesses.
