@SCE Thank you for your service, Sean, and to every veteran on SCE's crews. That safety-first discipline is what we count on when line crews de-energize a service so we can work safely on homes around Pasadena and LA.
Community engagement is key to on-site battery storage, experts say

Overvoltage Protection (SPD), Article 242
Mike Holt, NEC Consultant
Getting Overvoltage Protection Right
Overvoltage protection is a layered approach, not a one-and-done installation.
•Select an SPD with the proper ratings and short-circuit current rating for the application.
•Install SPDs in a permitted location.
•Keep conductors as short and straight as practical.
•Remember there are surge protection requirements other than in Article 242.
•Only one conductor is permitted to be connected to a terminal unless the terminal is identified for multiple conductors [110.14(A)].
Coordinating SPDs at the service and distribution equipment provides better protection by reducing transient voltage in stages before it reaches sensitive equipment.
