Battery storage allows the PV system to not only provide power when the sun is shining, but also stores that energy for use after the sun goes down. This can be beneficial, but battery storage also has its disadvantages. There are exceptions to these PV and battery storage requirements. Sometimes even code writers can see that a requirement

The Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) have solar photovoltaic (PV) system and solar ready requirements. The solar PV system requirements apply to newly constructed low-rise residential buildings. The solar-ready requirements are mandatory measures and applicable to buildings which do not have a solar PV system installed.
The 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) has battery storage system requirements for newly constructed nonresidential buildings that require a solar photovoltaic (solar PV) system (2022 Nonresidential Solar PV Fact Sheet).
However, when the solar PV capacity is determined by multiplying the solar access roof area (SARA) by 14 watts per square foot, it yields the required solar PV capacity for the whole building. To determine the battery storage requirements, the whole building solar PV capacity needs to be allocated to each building type shown in Table170.2-V.
