The Real DealNew real estate investment under attack: battery storageStaten Island City Council member Frank Morano has introduced a bill requiring large outdoor battery storage facilities to provide the FDNY with live, continuous access to system data and mandating annual inspections by independent engineers, adding regulatory layers to an already lengthy approval process. Industry stakeholders, including Brooklyn SolarWorks CEO T.R. Ludwig and Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions VP Sequoya Cross, argue the proposed regulations are unnecessary given that the FDNY already conducts rigorous oversight including equipment burn tests, system approvals, and fire alarm integration. The article highlights the broader context that New York has 97 local moratoriums on lithium-ion battery projects despite the city completing its first residential battery storage system this month, which took nearly eight years to permit.ElectrekNew York City finally gets its first home battery storage systemBrooklyn SolarWorks installed a 19.6-kilowatt-hour residential battery energy storage system on a Chinatown rooftop, marking the first permitted home battery in New York City. The system uses Briggs & Stratton's AccESS platform, which is currently the only residential storage system with a Certificate of Approval from the FDNY. After nearly eight years of working with city agencies to shape the permitting process, Brooklyn SolarWorks and Briggs & Stratton have created a pathway for broader residential battery adoption across the five boroughs.PR NewswireBrooklyn SolarWorks Installs New York City's First Residential Battery Energy Storage SystemBrooklyn SolarWorks has installed New York City's first residential battery energy storage system (BESS) in Chinatown, pairing a 19.6 kilowatt-hour Briggs & Stratton AccESS battery with a solar canopy. The landmark project represents the culmination of a nearly eight-year effort to develop the city's permitting framework for residential energy storage, with the AccESS system becoming the only residential storage system to receive a Certificate of Approval from the FDNY. This installation creates a replicable framework that could enable BESS adoption across all five boroughs, strengthening urban grid resilience as energy demand rises.
