4 FAQs about Energy storage system warranty requirements and standards

Does the warranty model for energy storage systems keep pace?

Inflexible and complex, the warranty model for energy storage systems has failed to keep pace with rapid market growth, the authors argue. This is an extract of a feature article that originally appeared in Vol.41 of PV Tech Power, Solar Media's quarterly journal covering the solar and storage industries.

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS) warranty?

As challenging as warranties are for battery energy storage system (BESS) owners and operators, it is possible for there to be more clarity. Look no further than how the automotive industry handles electric vehicle warranties. They are simple and flexible, typically covering time (usually eight years) and mileage (usually 100,000 miles).

What is the regulatory and compliance landscape for battery energy storage?

The regulatory and compliance landscape for battery energy storage is complex and varies significantly across jurisdictions, types of systems and the applications they are used in. Technological innovation, as well as new challenges with interoperability and system-level integration, can also amplify risks.

Do battery energy storage systems comply with building codes?

Building codes: Battery energy storage systems (BESS) must comply with local building codes and fire safety regulations, which can vary across different geographies and municipalities. These codes are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the U.S. and the performance-based European Standards (EN) in the European Union.
