Has anyone looked at NEC 2020? Articles 480.7(B) /Storage Batteries/
and 706.15 (A)/Energy Storage Systems/ both require an external
emergency disconnect for the batteries. That "may" be what the AHJ is
thinking? Off grid design never got to be so much fun....

Wrenches,
Does anyone have experience installing an 'Emergency Stop Button' for
Tesla Powerwall or similar energy storage systems? Not a knife-blade
disco but a low-voltage 'plunger' style button that shuts down all
power (even in backup mode) for first responders.
Our AHJ has been forcing us to install gigantic 200A discos between
our ESS and the main service. Tried explaining that these systems are
designed to operate when the power goes out so the disco is next to
useless but... AHJs will be AHJs...
I've attached a pic to give an idea of what I'm looking for. Hoping to
find a reliable option, with the following characteristics:
*• Must be Lockable on ON/OFF position
• Must have a clear indication of ON/OFF position
• Must be outdoor rated (NEMA 3R or higher)
• Should observe 12V, 0.1 A ratings*
Thanks
