Building codes: Battery energy storage systems (BESS) must comply with local building codes and fire safety regulations, which can vary across different geographies and municipalities. These codes are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the U.S. and the performance-based European Standards (EN) in the European Union.
The regulatory and compliance landscape for battery energy storage is complex and varies significantly across jurisdictions, types of systems and the applications they are used in. Technological innovation, as well as new challenges with interoperability and system-level integration, can also amplify risks.
UL 1973: Batteries for Use in Stationary and Motive Auxiliary Power Applications. Safety standard for modules and battery systems used in stationary energy storage systems. UL 9540, Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. Safety standard for energy storage systems used with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essentially large batteries housed within storage containers. These systems are designed to store energy from renewable sources or the grid and release it when required. This setup offers a modular and scalable solution to energy storage.
As a result, an unshaded north-facing 5kW solar system in Canberra can generate around 7,120 kWh of electricity every year*. Most solar households use about half of the energy generated by their PV panels. So, they can 'export' unused solar energy into the grid and earn a feed-in tariff (FIT) payment.
Over 11,281 small-scale systems have been installed in Canberra, ACT with a collective capacity of 10,631 kW. Around one in ten households in Canberra, ACT, generates solar power through rooftop installations, contributing to the territory's goal of reaching and maintaining 100% renewable energy.
Maximize Savings with Solar Self-Consumption and Feed-In Tariff: Canberra residents can reduce energy bills through solar self-consumption and earn credits for excess power sent to the grid. Shop around for the best feed-in tariff rates for optimal savings.
Solar Choice regularly publishes articles with indicative pricing for PV systems in Australia's capital cities (including Canberra) in our Solar Choice Price Index. Based on the price index data from March 2025, we can see that in Canberra a typical 6 kw solar system would cost $5,420 on average after deducting the STC rebate and including GST.
