Photos must be with the service panelboard’s front covers open and show the ratings of all breakers therein. The photos of labels must also clearly show the rating of the panelboard. * In addition to the above noted comment, if the utility meter base is not part of the same panelboard as the service panelboard, please also provide photos of the meter base and the service conduit (with photos taken from about 5 to 10 feet or so away from the equipment) Battery * Individual units (batteries) must be separated from each other by not less than three feet

Label Page

* 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. **Battery** * Please add a sign to be placed at the service entrance that identifies the battery chemistry included in the ESS.
