6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter inspection batch form]
What are the requirements for a roof-mounted PV system?
Firefighter access according to approved plan. Roof-mounted PV systems have the required fire classification (CBC 1505.9 or CRC R902.4). Grounding/bonding of rack and modules according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions that are approved and listed.
What is a “utility interactive” inverter?
For grid-connected systems, inverter is marked “utility interactive.” For ungrounded inverters, installation complies with CEC 690.35 requirements. Conductors, cables and conduit types, sizes and markings according to the approved plan. Overcurrent devices are the type and size according to the approved plan.
Where is a photovoltaic power source marking located?
Marking is placed adjacent to the main service disconnect in a location clearly visible from where the disconnect is operated. (CFC 605.11.1.3 & CRC R331.2.3) 67. The markings say “WARNING: PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SOURCE” and have 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) minimum-sized white letters on a red background.
How do I know if my inverter is working properly?
Confirm inverter’s power reading using independent meters. (afterwards, inverter power readings may be used for subsequent reporting.) Confirm the system power output under actual conditions meets expected output. Actual performance should be within about 5% of expected STC power.
Where should a photovoltaic circuit be located?
(CBC 1509.7.2 & CRC R908.1.2) Conduit, wiring systems and raceways for photovoltaic circuits are located as close as possible to the ridge, hip or valley and from the hip or valley as directly as possible to an outside wall to reduce trip hazards and maximize ventilation opportunities.
Are roof-mounted PV panels fire rated?
Rooftop-mounted PV panels and modules have the proper fire classification rating (IBC 1512.1, Table 1505.1, IRC R324.4.2, R902.4, AFC Vol. II 1511.1.1 & Table 206).
