6 FAQs about [Technical requirements for photovoltaic panel wiring]

Which wiring methods are applicable for photovoltaic (PV) systems?

In general, the wiring methods presented throughout the Code are applicable for photovoltaic (PV) systems. More specifically, Part IV of Art. 690 is titled “Wiring Methods,” which helps us establish the fundamental requirements for conductor selection and installation for PV systems.

Do I need to meter a photovoltaic system?

It is assumed that aluminum framed photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on a “post” and rail mounting system, the most common in the industry today, will be installed by the homeowner. While metering the system is encouraged, the specification does not address system wiring elements for associated system sensors or monitoring equipment.

What are the marking requirements for DC PV circuits?

Section 690.7 (D), Marking DC PV Circuits, has been added dealing with the marking requirements for DC PV circuits. The highest maximum DC voltage in the system must be provided by the installer in one of three listed locations.

Do solar panels need wiring?

Most modern photovoltaic systems for residential or portable use don’t actually require much “wiring.” At least not in the traditional sense of soldering circuits together. The majority of solar panels and balance of system components use standardized connectors and cables, such as the Universal Solar Connector.
