[RE-wrenches] Is Solark UL 9540 Certified?

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

Sounds like California Loren? 

I use Schneider and they have UL9540
certs. 

Here is a link to them and yes I have been asked this locally.

system with Simpliphi batteries stating: _"Energy storage systems are
required to be listed per UL 9540 per NEC 706.5 (See also Annex A in the
NEC, under energy storage systems). THE SOL-ARK SYSTEM IS NOT LISTED AND
TESTED PER UL 9540 BUT IS ONLY LISTED PER UL 1741. THE COMPLETE SYSTEM (IE.
BATTERIES, INVERTER, AND ANY OTHER COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENERGY
STORAGE SYSTEM) MUST BE LISTED PER UL 9540. Please provide documentation
and certification sheets (from a Nationally Recognized Testing Lab (NRTL))
for both the batteries and SolArk inverter to show that all components are
tested and certified per UL 9540. If it cannot be shown that the batteries
are tested and listed with SolArk inverters per UL 9540, then such system
cannot be installed and a different system that is listed and tested per UL
9540 must be chosen for the project._ _ _ Have any of you run into this
with Solark? Is the plans-checker in the wrong about the entire system
needing to meet the standard and not just the batteries? The code language
is kind of confusing. I can't find any documentation on Solark's website
regarding UL 9540. I know Tesla and Simpliphi have recently put out
documentation regarding this.   Thanks in advance for your help.
