6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter home decoration requirements and standards]

What is the minimum array area requirement for a solar PV inverter?

Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.

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 NFPA requirements for solar panels?

The electrical portion of solar PV systems shall be designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 70. R324.3.1 Equipment listings. Photovoltaic panels and modules shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 1703 or with both UL 61730-1 and UL 61730-2. Inverters shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 1741.

Can a solar inverter be installed manually?

This allows one to manually isolate the solar system from the home’s electric service panel and from the utility grid. Builders should be aware of these local requirements and make accommodations in the AC conduit run accordingly. The builder should not assume that the inverter installed will include an onboard manual AC disconnect switch.

What standards are available for the energy rating of PV modules?

Standards available for the energy rating of PV modules in different climatic conditions, but degradation rate and operational lifetime need additional scientific and standardisation work (no specific standard at present). Standard available to define an overall efficiency according to a weighted combination of efficiencies.

What if a MCS contractor does not design a solar PV system?

3.1.2 Where MCS contractors do not engage in the design or supply of solar PV systems but work solely as a MCS Contractor for a client who has already commissioned a system design; then the MCS Contractor shall be competent to review and verify that the design would meet the design requirements set out in this Standard and this should be recorded.
