It defines the components like arrays, modules, inverters, and disconnecting means, and outlines how circuits must be sized, protected, grounded, and labelled. The article applies to both stand-alone and interactive systems, with or without energy storage. The safe and reliable installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems and their integration with the nation's electric grid requires timely development of the foundational codes and standards governing solar deployment. It governs everything from circuit requirements and voltage calculations to crucial safety mechanisms like the rapid shutdown system (RSS) and ground-fault. NEC Article 690 covers the installation and safety requirements for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. 3 Application of 1) vercurrent Devices in or on Premises. However, this article will concentrate on the changes in Article 690, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, Article 705, Interconnected Power Production Sources, Article 691, Large-Scale.
