How Local Governments Can Enable Safe Solar and Energy Storage

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.

What Is UL 9540 for Battery Energy Storage Systems?

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.
