PHOTOVOLTAIC SIGNAGE
Any equipment not within the line of sight of the meter head shall be labeled on an engraved red plastic background with white lettering.
DC COMBINER/ JUNCTION BOX:
“Warning. Electrical shock hazard. The direct current circuit conductors of this photovoltaic power system are ungrounded but may be energized with respect to the ground due to leakage paths and/or ground faults.”
DC DISCONNECT:
“Warning. Electrical shock hazard. The direct current circuit conductors of this photovoltaic power system are ungrounded but may be energized with respect to the ground due to leakage paths and/or ground faults.
“PV system- DC disconnect, operating current, max. system voltage, operating voltage, short circuit current.” (Accessible location).
INVERTER:
“If a ground fault is indicated, the normally grounded conductors may be energized and ungrounded.”
“Warning. Electrical shock hazard. Do not touch terminals. Terminals on both the line and load sides may be energized in the open position.”
AC DISCONNECT:
“PV system - AC disconnect rated AC output current amps, AC normal operating volts.”
METER:
Dual sources: Second source is Photovoltaic.
Permanent directory or plaque providing the location of service disconnecting means and photovoltaic system disconnecting means, if not located at the same location.
