Frequently asked questions about Solar PV Cert

What is rapid shutdown?
NEC 690.12 requires that PV systems on buildings have a rapid shutdown function that reduces conductors to 80V or less within 30 seconds. This is a safety requirement for firefighters. Module-level power electronics (MLPEs) are the most common compliance method.
Do I need utility approval for solar?
Yes. Grid-tied solar installations require an interconnection agreement with the utility. Most utilities require the system to pass inspection and receive Permission to Operate (PTO) before it can be energized and export power.
