In addition to NFPA 855, which standard provides requirements for photovoltaic and energy storage systems?

NFPA 1
NFPA 101
NFPA 5000
NFPA 70

The correct answer is: NFPA 1

The correct answer highlights the role of NFPA 1, which is the Fire Code. This standard provides a comprehensive approach to fire prevention and safety across various activities and systems, including the installation and operation of photovoltaic systems and energy storage. NFPA 1 encompasses a broad range of fire safety regulations, ensuring that the use of these technologies does not compromise life safety or property protection. NFPA 1 is intended to be applied in conjunction with other standards, such as NFPA 855, to enhance the overall safety and resiliency of installations involving renewable energy. The inclusion of requirements in NFPA 1 ensures that fire hazards related to photovoltaic systems and energy storage are adequately addressed in the context of building safety and fire prevention measures. The other standards listed may include relevant electrical safety or building design guidelines but do not specifically focus on the fire safety aspects of photovoltaic and energy storage systems in the same manner as NFPA 1. NFPA 70, for example, primarily deals with electrical installations and safety, which is critical but does not encompass the broader fire safety considerations.
