This article outlines the key safety labeling requirements for solar installations, focusing on electrical hazards, arc flash, personal protective equipment (PPE), and other hazard communication standards.
Learn MoreThe National Electrical Code (NEC) Section 690 outlines specific labeling requirements for photovoltaic (PV) systems to ensure safety and compliance. These requirements were updated in 2020. Visibility After Installation: Labels or markings must remain visible after installation, ensuring they can be easily read during maintenance or emergencies.
Added one new label for PV systems floating on bodies of water. The NEC2023 second draft meeting was concluded in October 2021. As PV and wind systems evolve, required labeling will continue to evolve with them. Always check local codes before defining labeling formats.
Many solar builders choose to design and label their installations based on the latest code revisions. Taking into account local AHJ requirements, why would any company want to label to the latest NEC revision? The easy answer is safety, but new technologies also play a part.
The fastening requirement (E) is also moved to 705.30 (E). Finally, the dc voltage label formally in Article 690.53 was moved to 690.7 (D) to correlate the label requirement with the relevant section of code to increase usability.
This is required for safety purposes to clearly indicate the maximum voltage to servicing personnel for PPE and tool selection. Since some PV equipment, such as certain inverters, may have multiple DC circuit inputs, the highest value present in the system shall be used on the single label.
Some municipalities require Maximum ESS DC Voltage, so this has been added to the label by HellermannTyton. In the NEC 2020 Code, MAXIMUM ESS DC VOLTAGE ADDED. The labeling in 706(D)(1-4) shall not be required if an arc-flash label is applied in accordance with accepted industry practice.
