It's going to be in a residential area, a small plot of land that was formally a small parking lot. It's supposedly a small battery storage unit for the larger one that's several miles away...

Whats the noise like? And will it have lights on 24/7?

For commercial contractors doing battery storage installs, how are you handling the fire safety documentation side of permitting?

Specifically thinking about the Hazard Mitigation Analysis and Emergency Response Plan. These seem like the most technical and time consuming pieces of the permit package.

Are you going to a fire protection engineer each time, building templates internally or something else? And roughly how much of your project timeline does this eat up?
