Solar Labelguide

The document summarizes new 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) labeling requirements for photovoltaic (PV) systems. Key points include: - PV system disconnects, points of interconnection, and production sources must be clearly labeled with information like voltage, current output. - Buildings must have permanent plaques denoting all electric power sources at service equipment locations. - Rapid shutdown PV systems must have labels stating "SOLAR PV SYSTEM IS EQUIPPED WITH RAPID SHUTDOWN" in capital letters. - A label located near rapid shutdown switches must state "RAPID SHUTDOWN SWITCH FOR SOLAR PV" in capital letters. - Wiring methods
