Every installation we have done require permits, required because you are
connecting into a electrical panel

Dear Wrenches,
Has anyone installed storage battery systems with no PV or other generation
source?  I see no info on local building department websites about
permitting storage batteries.  I've heard one person refer to battery
storage as a "energy storage appliance" and allege that no permits are
required for this.
I'm asking because I am bidding on a small battery only installation.  It's
pretty much just a battery pack and an inverter.  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.
As always, any help is appreciated.
Best,Jerry Caldwell
