ESS Notes

Battery systems require a dedicated AC Disconnect located within 10 ft of the UM. Battery Disconnect must bear this engraved label: BATTERY DISCONNECT . If battery is installed inside a garage, a smoke alarm will be required.(or heat alarm in areas where a smoke alarm cannot be installed based on their listing) Please provide the model number and information sheet about such detector/alarm Please include a sign with the exact wording. “ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM DISCONNECT.” The sign must include the Nominal AC Voltage and Maximum DC voltage of the ESS system. Please add a sign to be placed at the service entrance that identifies the battery chemistry included in the ESS

Plan Set Requirements

Calculations Page: Starting from the existing equipment specific to this job, show the total amount of watts, amps, volts, open-circuit voltage (Voc at the coldest possible outside temperature see NEC 690.7), and short circuit current that the array can produce (this is not required for systems with micro-inverters). Then size the bonding and grounding to the equipment. If using batteries, also provide calculations for all equipment used. This must be job-specific. Specifications Sheets: Provide manufacturer details for the parts used for only the system being installed on this project (not the whole catalog): Manufacturer's spec sheets: Provide spec sheets on racking supporting modules, the hardware used for bonding at rails, conductor and bonding lugs, detail on flashing at the roof for the racking system to keep water out of the building, Module spec sheets: Provide the module manufacturer specification sheets showing the modules rated watts (Pmp), volts (Vmp), amps (Imp), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and short circuit current (Isc) and their UL listing. Only provide pages of modules actually being used. Inverter spec sheets: Provide the inverter manufacturer spec sheets showing the number of watts and volts the inverter can safely handle, and also noting what the inverter's max rated AC output amps and voltage is. Utility tied inverters must be listed as “utility-interactive meeting UL 1741, and have ground fault protection. Micro-inverters: Show manufacturer and listing of multi-cables with connections for micro-inverters meeting UL 1741. e. Show manufacturer and listing of the solar deck or junction box, also stress connectors and flashings for the roof. wind speed - snow load Utah does not want single panel arrays with railless systems. Please have layout changed if this happens Warning Labels Page: Show all warning labels to be used at panels, conduits and disconnects. Installation Detail Page: Show detail of racking with the manufacturer's name and how it is fastened to the building and flashed to keep water to the finish side of the building.M971

Site

\- Site plan: Provide a detailed site plan showing the location of the home and all PV system components on the property. If the panels are on the roof, show a roof diagram with panel layout, include dimensions of the walkway around panels (3 feet minimum). Include details of how many panels will be installed. Also, show the location of new equipment being installed on this particular project. Include pictures of max amps on busses, pictures of all live parts, also conductors.

Electrical Diagram

Provide photos of the existing service panelboard. If the utility meter is not part of the same panelboard, provide photos of that too. The service panel on the line diagram MUST match that of the actual service panel, generic layouts will not be accepted. Line detail must be specific to this job only - do not send a generic one-line diagram. Start with the existing cabinets on the house, provide a detailed line diagram showing or listing the following: a. the manufacturer’s name of the existing and all new equipment being used on this project only, b. the number of subpanels per circuit, c. the size of conductors and disconnects per circuit, d. solid copper (minimum #8) conductor for your bonding and grounding, e. the rail system and the type of grounding lug for that rail system as needed f. switches, g. max disconnects, h. max size of busses at main disconnect and location, also the main breaker cabinet if used, i. show whether this project is load side or line side at a disconnect with calculations and sizing, j. inverters and locations of inverters, k. include a note that modules cannot be placed over plumbing and mechanical vents, l. if batteries are used, provide all equipment used, conductors, conduit sized for system and container for storage of batteries with all warning labels shown.
