UL 9540 certification:
Now that UL1973 testing has been completed, we are proceeding with UL9540 & 9540A testing. The time for completion is not currently known, but is targeted for early 2023.
California “CEC” Approval
The SK48v100 is not currently listed by the California Energy Commission as approved for use within the state for on-grid installations. We cannot submit our application for this list until UL9540 testing has been completed, which is required for submittal for listing on the CEC database. Once we receive the UL9540 certification, we will have our application submitted. You can view the approved equipment list here: https://solarequipment.energy.ca.gov/Home/BatteryList
Why is UL listing important?
Local AHJ’s (authority having jurisdiction) have began adopting 2017 NEC that requires batteries and energy storage system to be listed. This excludes non-listed packs from being used in a system that is code-compliant (permitted). Now that the SK48v100 is listed to UL standards, it can be used in a system that is permitted, inspected and insured.
Often times insurance providers will deny a claim for damage if an unlisted system is involved in a claim, even if the unlisted system is not the cause of such claims.
About the packs already shipped and installed:
The certification to UL1973 standards utilizes the same hardware that the SK48v100 has used since its initial conception, therefore, existing equipment conforms to the requirements for UL1973. If you have these initial packs that do not bear the “Conforms to UL1973 standards” label, then you may contact us for these labels.
