Solar Labels NEC 2017
NEC 2017 Solar Labels for Photovoltaic Systems (Article 690)
The 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 690 established updated requirements for labeling photovoltaic (PV) systems to improve safety, hazard identification, and emergency response. These NEC 2017 solar warning labels and photovoltaic safety labels are used throughout PV installations to clearly mark energized electrical equipment, disconnects, rapid shutdown systems, and DC conductors. Proper labeling helps electricians, inspectors, and first responders quickly recognize electrical hazards and safely service solar equipment.
NEC 690 requires durable, permanently affixed markings at key locations in a solar installation, including PV system disconnects, inverters, combiner boxes, service equipment, and conduit containing DC conductors. Labels must remain visible after installation and clearly identify photovoltaic power sources, system voltage, and rapid-shutdown equipment where applicable. These standardized safety labels ensure that critical information is immediately visible to technicians and emergency personnel working around energized solar systems.
PV Labels provides NEC 2017 photovoltaic warning labels designed for code-compliant solar installations, built with durable materials for long-term visibility in outdoor environments. These high-visibility PV safety labels help installers meet NEC labeling requirements while ensuring clear hazard communication for photovoltaic systems and electrical equipment throughout residential, commercial, and industrial solar installations.
ANSI - All labels identified in the 2017 NEC are associated with this statement: "The warning sign(s) or label(s) shall comply with NEC 110.21B" ...NEC 110.21 - Marking (B): Field Applied Hazard Markings. Where caution, warning or danger signs or labels are required by this code, the labels shall meet the following requirements...the marking shall adequately warn of the hazard using effective words and/or colors and/or symbols and the label shall be sufficient durability to withstand the environment involved. Informational Note: ANSI 535.4-2011, Product Safety Signs and Labels, provides guidelines for suitable font sizes, words, colors, symbols and location requirements or labels.
