BABA and Buy American requirements are reshaping how battery energy storage systems are sourced, documented, and procured. This guide explains how domestic content rules apply to BESS projects, why battery cells drive compliance calculations, how FAR thresholds work, and what buyers should review before procurement to reduce funding and audit risk.
Battery storage projects often stall because local governments lack clear permitting and safety standards. This guide explains how cities and counties can enable safer solar + storage deployment through tiered BESS ordinances, predictable review timelines, fire propagation prevention requirements, and coordinated emergency response planning.
UL 9540 certification determines whether a battery energy storage system can be safely deployed by evaluating the entire system, not just individual components. It integrates fire testing, battery safety testing, and system-level performance to assess real-world risk, compliance, and how systems behave under both normal and failure conditions.
UL 9540A defines how battery energy storage systems are evaluated during thermal runaway events, providing the data that drives safety, design, and permitting decisions. This guide explains how the test works, why it matters, and what the latest 2026 updates mean for modern BESS deployments.
As New York City enforces Local Law 97, building owners must act decisively to cut emissions. Battery Energy Storage Systems are key to compliance if designed right. EticaAG’s LiquidShield and HazGuard technologies provide efficient, safe, and future-proof storage solutions tailored for dense urban electrification and LL97 performance.
UL 1973 is the gold standard for battery safety in energy storage. For developers and C&I customers, certification ensures regulatory approval, market access, and system reliability. EticaAG’s immersion cooled lithium ion battery racks are now UL 1973:2022 certified, delivering unmatched protection against thermal runaway and fire propagation.
As California’s wildfire risks grow, battery storage is becoming essential for power resilience. This blog explores how BESS, especially EticaAG’s immersion-cooled systems with HazGuard gas mitigation, helps protect critical infrastructure and communities in high fire-threat districts when the grid goes down.
NYC’s Local Law 87 is raising the bar for building energy performance, and Battery Energy Storage Systems are now part of the equation. This guide explores how EticaAG’s immersion cooling and HazGuard technologies help buildings meet LL87 requirements while boosting efficiency, safety, and compliance readiness.
California’s Title 24 sets the benchmark for energy-efficient, safe, and sustainable building practices. This guide breaks down each part of the code, with a special focus on Part 6 and how technologies like battery storage and immersion cooling help meet performance goals and future-proof building design.
