Material, UV Stability & Outdoor Durability
PV Labels manufactures solar labels, reflective labels, engraved placards, and metal signs using outdoor-rated material systems selected for photovoltaic and electrical installations. Our products are built for long-term readability on inverters, disconnects, raceways, combiner boxes, batteries, service equipment, electrical panels, and other solar PV identification points.
Depending on the product, PV Labels uses FLEXcon white vinyl label materials, clear protective overlaminate, Avery Dennison engineering-grade reflective film, Rowmark UltraGrave engraved acrylic, and aluminum sign materials. Each material is selected based on the installation environment, surface type, visibility requirement, and expected field exposure.
Standard White Solar Labels
Standard white PV labels are produced using FLEXcon white vinyl label material for outdoor solar and electrical identification. This material system is used for warning labels, compliance labels, equipment labels, and durable goods labeling.
- FLEXcon white vinyl label material system
- Outdoor-rated material for solar and electrical labeling
- Permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive
- Compatible with conventional and UV ink systems
- UL 969 recognized material component where applicable
- Used for NEC solar labels, disconnect labels, raceway labels, inverter labels, and equipment labels
Reflective Solar Labels
Reflective PV labels use Avery Dennison engineering-grade beaded retroreflective film for improved visibility. Reflective labels are ideal for solar identification points where daytime and nighttime visibility are important.

It’s not that PVlables has a better product then the next guy, it’s the service and quick response that sets them apart. I have sent them a request for a custom placard many times and I get it delivered in just a few days. They take the time to make sure it looks correct. It’s like they care about their work, go figure. Nice to have quality mean something in this day and age.

A go-to source for placards and labels.
I purchased a batch of custom labels from pvlabels.com for a PV project at our home a couple of years ago and they have held up exceptionally well outdoors. So when I needed custom labels for our well control panels recently I purchased them from pvlabels.com. The labels arrived quickly and are very well made. Time will tell, but I have no reason not to expect the same outdoor durability from them. Pvlabels.com is my go-to place for custom placards and labels and I have often recommended them to family and co-workers.

As always quick reliable service
I have ordered many times from PV Labels. The products are high quality and so is the service. The custom placards are completed and shipped quickly and I have been happy with what I receive. I would recommend them to anyone.

Helped me out of a bind, and excellent customer service
Item was a custom order for Solar and I needed specific wording according to the power company in order to be able to proceed with the net metering. PV Labels came through for me and their web page store front helped make the design process easy. They even sent me an artist rendition to proof so I could make sure it was done exactly to my needs. No issues. Product was well packed and received items in mint condition. I ordered two day shipping because I was needing ASAP and items arrived quickly even during the peak Christmas Holiday shipping times. I couldn't recommend them more highly and would order from them again for my label needs. Thanks again, another satisfied customer!!!!!

Excellent Quality
My custom placards came out perfect and they shipped very quickly.

Label matched perfectly to the provided artwork.
I needed a label for a status light box on an offgrid system. The label fit perfectly, and all the holes lined up precisely when drilled out for the LED lights.
