noise of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology has “exploded” as a concern in the last six months

“I’d say that in the last six months noise has exploded as a concern. One of our team just toured a dozen customers in Europe and every single one brought up concerns about noise, and what we are doing to mitigate it. A year ago, nobody asked”

Sungrow pointed out to Energy-Storage.news in a recent interview that its latest generation product increased the energy-per-container from 2.5MWh to 5MWh but the max noise emissions went from 79dB to 75dB.

An analysis done for a battery project in California showed tat the sound level at the property line, 450 feet from a battery, was 59.4 – which is in the upper range “quiet” to lower range of “moderate” noise.
