[jay]

HI Jerry,

If you were installing a UPS system, would you need permit?
I’m asking, I don’t know.

I've heard one person refer to battery storage as a "energy storage appliance" and allege that no permits are required for this.

The installation is a test installation for a company who writes software to manage battery installations.  The management of this company sounded surprised when permits were mentioned.
