Chris White's solar shed containing three panels and eight deep cycle batteries that Nova Scotia Power failed the inspection for.One of the least expensive, safest and environmentally friendly ways to create a battery backup for home solar or wind is manufactured by Surrette Battery in Springhill.
Those letters are acronyms for organizations that come up with safety standards. Countries, states and provinces either operate their own certification authority or adopt/accept compliance with a standard set by another organization. If you go check the approved safety marks of the Standards Council of Canada, you will find Underwriter Laboratories Solutions is one of them. You’ll find their ‘UL’ mark on the Surrette Batteries used by White. It has the UL Solutions 1989 certification for standby batteries.
But lead-acid batteries don’t need a battery management system and, according to the National Fire Protection Association, are of much lower fire risk due to their chemistry and lower density of energy storage. For its part, UL Solutions product manager Maurice Johnson told The Chronicle Herald that their company only develops standards — it’s up to the local regulatory authority to determine when they are applied.
